Used in a sentence: "This is someone else's wordplay, not mine -- but I just learned about the services provided at myholysmoke.com."
Far be it from me to judge how someone else chooses to honor their dead (after all, bear in mind that my dad informed me last year that he wants to be buried in his Santa Claus suit), but I have to say that taking your cremated ashes and having it mixed in with ammunition that your loved ones can use as they honor your memory on future hunting expeditions is a choice I just never anticipated. [And that's even after having a loved one inform me that the ashes are to be put equally into four plants to be given to surviving relatives so that if the plant subsequently dies, the person has to deal with the guilt of being responsible for the "second death".]
I applaud the creativity (me, I think I'd rather just get pushed in a canoe out to the ocean like those Eskimos or Innuits did) ... but I have to think this way to go is for a bit of a niche audience.
