Rest in Print is a new service to enable your remains to be
immortalised in print. Here’s how it works.
It’s simple. After you have been cremated, your ashes are
ground down to a very fine powder and mixed with printing
ink. A limited edition book run, or anything else you have
requested,
is then printed using this ink. Instead of your
grieving friend or relative receiving an urn full of ashes to
gather even more dust on a shelf, everyone is presented
with
a tastefully bound volume to treasure (or use as a scrap
book)
I’d like to see myself bearing some sort of reference to
either
Flann O’Brien or Ivor Cutler, but there are also any number
of
B list pulp fiction detective novels to consider.

A relatively groovy idea. I think i'd like to be turned into an epitaph. |
|
| |
"What would you like done with your ashes?" |
|
| |
"Just scatter some on the ocean and put the Rest in Print" |

I'd like to be a Mills and Boon book. |

It would take 3 peoples deaths to make a Stephen King novel. |
|
| |
+. Mine would just say "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" on every single page. Just to freak out my friends. |
|

By the way, did you hear that Ivor Cutler died recently? He was a real one-off. |
|
| |
I think I heard somewhere about an artist who was mixing ashes with paint to paint portraits of the departed. |
|
| |
I always figured I'd be sake and coffee cups. |
|

Those spelling pedants can rot in hell as I use there ashes to make books with alot of spelling errers and bad grammer!!!!! MRUHAHAHAHAHA!! |
|
| |
I'd like to be a page full of interrobangs. Remember those? |
|
| |
I do, and I also remember that you never called me afterwards. |
|
| |
could my ashes be used to print a full sized 3D model of me? |
|
| |
Great bunch of annos too! |
