My favorite is number seven:
Pencils made from the carbon of human cremains. 240 pencils can be made from an average body of ash – a lifetime supply of pencils for those left behind.
Each pencil is foil stamped with the name of the person. Only one pencil can be removed at a time, it is then sharpened back into the box causing the sharpenings to occupy the space of the used pencils. Over time the pencil box fills with sharpenings – a new ash, transforming it into an urn. The window acts as a timeline, showing you the amount of pencils left as time goes by.
Nowhere at the link do they say it's for sale, but do you think they are giving it away? I doubt it.
The other seven ways to be buried you will find here. For the pointer I thank Bob Cottrell of The Browser.
So much for the claim that no one person can make a pencil!
What a great postmortem idea. Imagine chewing on the end of your pencil as you write a poem about your departed one. Mind-boggling.
