Cremated Ashes Packed into Ammunition

The process of having cremated ash placed in live ammunition begins when you contact us. You tell us what type of hunting or shooting that the decedent practiced and we can help you decide what will best suit your needs. Feel free to email us, call us at (251) 213-1211 or (251) 232-4414 or complete the proposal form on our Buy Holy Smoke page, and we will gladly discuss the options (caliber, gauge, etc.) available to you. We are here to serve you and want to simplify the ordering process as much as possible.

Once the caliber, gauge and other ammunition parameters have been selected, we will ask you (by way of your funeral service provider) to send approximately one pound of the decedents ash to us. Upon receiving the ashes our professional and reverent staff will place a measured portion of ash into each shotshell or cartridge. (Please note that our process uses only a portion of the ash from a typical cremation.)


Example: 1 Pound of ash is enough to produce 250 shotshells (one case).

Our return shipment to the sender will be the finished ammunition, boxed in available labeled ammunition boxes. We also offer mantle-worthy wooden carriers with engraved name plates. Your return shipment will also include any unused ash in a separate, labeled container.

I am seriuolsy considering cremation unsure of what to do with the ashes, but posted sometime ago about this which well, let me just say was in the nature of vengeance on a neighbor. Good thought on your part. Older I get I just can't take the using of good soil for my body as doing any good these days.

I think cremation is the way to go. If you are a fan of fireworks you can go out like this too.

I think I will stick with the fireworks and ammo, but it's another cool idea. Better than lying in a high dollar box and rotting away if you ask me.

Little on the steep side, but interesting idea. Beats sitting on the mantle for sure!

I've always liked the idea of using the fired shells from a 21 gun salute for something as well. I have made pens and keychains out of them and I can also seal ashes into the keychain or make it a screw on type where you can do it yourself and then superglue it shut. They can be presented to family members or close friends as rememberance tokens. I haven't loaded pics onto the website yet, but probably this week they will be there.
