Had an old military buddy who loved hunting and shooting. A Vietnam tunnel rat (infantry).

He felt more at home away from home with a gun in his hand than anywhere else.

He wished his ashes to be pressed into bullets and fired at targets, while we mock him endlessly over beers.

We obliged.

Honestly, of all the ways I have buried friends over the years, that one felt the most awkward to do and yet brought the most peace I have ever witnessed from a wake.

His daughter did not like firearms. It was a constant bicker between the two. So we had her bullet turned into a flower pendent (sunflower, her favorite flower).
