A funeral parlour has created a stir by guaranteeing a unique lasting tribute to the dead, by inking tattoos on their loved ones, with the deceased’s ashes. Walsall's Cooperative Memorials, is offering this service as a spectacular alternative to bunging grandad’s ashes on the mantlepiece.
The business is also offering to scatter the remains by fireworks for those who longed to go out with a bang, include them in paintings and even add them to jewellery or have a dead relative included in garden furniture, which could prove popular with ornithologists who slip this mortal coil.
