Ashes to Bullets
It is now possible to have ones ashes packed into bullets.
The widow of a fan of vintage shotguns had her husband’s ashes loaded into cartridges and used by friends for the last shoot of the season.
The widow, Joanna Booth, organized the shoot for 20 close friends on an estate in Aberdeenshire, after asking a cartridge company to mix the ashes of her husband James with traditional shot.
A total of 275 12-bore cartridges were produced from the mix and were blessed by a minister before they were used to kill pheasants, partridges, ducks and a fox.
Being huge animal lovers, we at MFF are not completely amored with this idea. It’s bad enough man is able to kill in life but in death too?
But hey if it trips ya trigger!

Very interesting. My husband had always mentioned this too but I didn’t have the first clue how to do something like this. We are still in our 30’s and I hope I won’t have to do this for a long time. He wants to be cremated and put into bullets as well.
