For music lovers, having ashes pressed into a genuine, playable vinyl record offers a truly personal keepsake. A small amount of ashes, usually around a teaspoon, is sprinkled onto the vinyl before pressing, so it becomes part of the record itself rather than sitting inside a container.
You can choose exactly what plays on the record: a favourite song, a voice recording, a treasured message, or even total silence, letting the natural pops and crackles of the ashes be the only sound. Records can be pressed with the ashes visible as swirls and flecks in clear or coloured vinyl, or kept discreet within standard black vinyl. Most providers can produce multiple copies from one pressing, so several family members can each have their own.

How much ash is needed for a vinyl record? Only a small amount, typically around a teaspoon, so there’s usually plenty left over for other memorial options.
What can be recorded on the vinyl? Anything you choose: a favourite song or playlist, a voice recording, a message, or simply silence, so the ashes themselves create the sound.
How much does it cost? Prices generally range from around £1,000 to £3,000, depending largely on how many copies are pressed.
How long does the process take? Typically three to five weeks from receiving the audio, artwork and ashes through to delivery.
Can multiple copies be made for different family members? Yes, most of the cost is in setting up the pressing itself, so producing several copies from one pressing adds relatively little extra.
