Cool Stuff: Converting Your Ashes Into Ammunition, By Holy Smoke LLC

Filed under: Cool Stuff,Weapons Stuff — Tags: , , , — Matt @ 9:55 PM

Thanks to Chad for letting me know about this awhile back. This group will actually convert your ashes into ammunition. For the rifle rounds, they put the ash in a bullet, and then I think they swage the thing. Although I am not sure about the ballistics of these bullets, but still, I thought it was pretty cool.

The reaction on FJ Facebook was pretty amazing as well. Numerous guys were all about converting their ashes into some kind of munition that could be sent back to the war and be used by the troops. Check it out. –Matt

About Us
We offer a way to honor your deceased loved one by giving or sharing with him or her one more round of clay targets, one last bird hunt, or one last stalk hunt.?The Concept?Several years ago I was talking with my friend and co-worker at work one evening. We were discussing the passing of one of our relatives and the topic of conversation turned to our own demise and whether we preferred burial or cremation.  I told my friend that I had some cost, waste of space and ecological issues with burials and that I thought I wanted to be cremated and in some fashion, have my ashes tossed into a river or spread through the woods.  ?My friend  smiled and said “You know I’ve thought about this for some time and I want to be cremated. Then I want my ashes put into some turkey load shotgun shells and have someone that knows how to turkey hunt use the shotgun shells with my ashes to shoot a turkey. That way I will rest in peace knowing that the last thing that one turkey will see is me, screaming at him at about 900 feet per second.

“?I realized that my friend was describing almost exactly how I wanted my ashes to be spread.  How perfect to have my family and friends honor me by using shotgun shells with a little bit of my ash in each one.  Whether my shells get shot at sporting clays or live birds or put on the shelf, even in death I could be ecologically sound and useful.?From that statement, we started a company that can take your or your loved ones ashes and produce an eco-friendly way  to spread or use those ashes while conducting a favored activity. ?With care and reverence, we can place the ashes of your loved ones into almost any caliber or gauge of ammunition.  ?The Reality?Holy Smoke is a company that was started by two state law enforcement officers.  They have successfully transformed their model working relationship (as game wardens) into another successful working relationship as co-owners of Holy Smoke LLC.?Holy Smoke realized there was a need for an individual’s choice in how his or her life could be remembered or celebrated.  What better way to be remembered than in a celebration of a life well spent.   ?A second important need is cost concerns for the decedent’s family.  The services provided by Holy Smoke are a cost effective memorial for your outdoors person.?A third and equally important need was for the end result to be ecologically friendly and sound.  There is a much smaller ecological footprint caused by our service as opposed to most of the current funeral interment methods.?Now you can have the peace of mind that you can continue to protect your home and family even after you are gone.?Holy Smoke LLC is committed to helping people celebrate a life through our services.?Should you have any questions or need any clarifications, please feel free to ask us though our Contact Page or simply call us at (251) 232-4414 or (251) 213-1211. You will be under no obligation, and we will do everything we can to assist you with your request.
