![]() 如今土地资源稀缺,人死后已经没有办法“入土为安”,最后都要烧成灰,与其花大钱埋进小墓地,不如制成有价值的工艺品永久保存。有些人选择将骨灰制成钻石、水晶球,还有人将骨灰制成黑胶唱片。当然也有想得开的人把骨灰制成了烟花。但是还有更另类的遗体处理方式,比如把骨灰从大炮射出去,让别人当烟抽,或者将遗体制成木乃伊。一起来看看如今流行哪些遗体处理方式。
Forget about traditional burials or cremation the sky's literally the limit when it comes to what people are choosing to do with their remains after they die.
More and more people are requesting exotic options including being turned into fireworks, diamonds, snow globes and even vinyl records.
According to View Legal director Matthew Burgess the requests for unconventional body disposal options are surging.
'There is a significant and growing interest in alternative disposal approaches,' Mr Burgess told news.com.au.
The new trends are relating to big bucks for a number of businesses who specialise in the 'body disposal' business.
Heart In Diamond who create 'stunningly beautiful diamonds from your loved one's hair or ashes' offer their services from $3,100 for a budget 0.10 carat yellow - orange diamond with prices exceeding $30,000 for their one carat plus diamonds.
Another method becoming more popular is cryonic freezing which was made famous in 1967 when Dr. James Bedford, a psych professor at the University of California became the first person to ever be cryonically preserved.
The estimated cost for people to become frozen will be an estimated $90,000 per person.
Mr Burgess said there are up to five requests a year for people to be turned into snow globes post-death. Vinyl records are a popular request among departing baby boomers.
Another company, Ashes to Ashes, specialises in making fireworks to spread the ashes of loved ones.
But there are many more ways the human body can be laid to rest including mummification and being taken out to sea.
Hunter S Thompson's ashes were reportedly 'shot out of a cannon'; Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards who claimed to have 'snorted' his father's ashes; and rap artist Tupac Shakur's former Outlawz band members revealed they smoked his ashes after the funeral. (责任编辑:voa365) |
