A pair of Alabama conservation enforcement officers think they've come up with the perfect way for avid hunters to honor their loved ones for eternity.

Officers Thad Holmes and Clem Parnell have launched Holy Smoke LLC, a company that will, for a price, load cremated human ash into shotgun shells, and rifle and pistol cartridges.

Just think, you'd be breathing in your relatives with every shot, and cleaning their gunk from inside your gun after every day of use


I'm gonna be cremated and packed into a gigantic "artillery shell" firework.

Sorry.

Having served from Viet Nam to Desert Storm, I fought against war. I don't want my ashes spread from a gun. But that's me. I can see where somebody else might.

I had a friend (and my first firearms instructor) who did just that several years ago. The agent orange in Nam took him by way of lung cancer. He had his best friend load his ashes into shells and we fired him into his backyard range's berm in a long volley of "rolling thunder".

RIP Joe.
