Abstract
Description
For this capstone
project the author looks at different methods of cremation and how those methods
are viewed in different areas of society. She was intrigued with the idea of
cremation as it is becoming a more and more popular form of memorial and
because people are coming up with creative things to do with a person’s
cremains. The different methods that she examined are incorporating cremains into
reef-balls, turning them into diamonds, incorporating them in tattoos, sky
burials, living urns, glass marbles, putting cremains in shotgun shells, turning
cremains into vinyl records, turning cremains into fireworks, and shooting
cremains into space. The author also looks at how people are starting to
normalize different memorialization practices in use today.
