This is creepy and the price isn't cheerful either. BTW Ft. Washington on the Potomac still fires a muzzle-loading cannon (brass) a couple of times a year. Instead of making or buying a fancy box you should befriend a few of the boys at the park and make arrangements for getting yourself packed in for a trip. It would be illegal but I bet you'd like that all the more.

packed in
Would it be illegal? Not if you're cremated in ADVANCE of being stuffed down the muzzle I should think.
Sounds like a blast to me....
I find the whole idea of having a box full of some ones ashes sitting around the house rather puzzling. When the body is dead it's dead. Cremate it, bury it, compost it - whatever. If you want to remember them get a nice portrait painted and build a good frame. I've met people who have 2 or 3 urns around their house with parents and pets in them. It doesn't really strike me as creepy, just puzzling. I like your cannon idea, although I kind of favor mailing the box of ashes to a nonexistent address without a return address, so that they end up in the dead letter office.... ba-ba-ching!

Kinda gives a whole new meaning to: "Going out with a bang."
My choice is still getting my ashes shot out of a muzzle-loading cannon.

Which gives a whole new meaning to the term 'getting your ashes hauled'

At that stage in the game It wouldn't worry me either way. However, even though I believe in reincarnation, I believe I would prefer my ashes much further away from politicians.

But cremation can be so much easier than getting a nice, tight mitered joint. Or, is death of a loved one the latest excuse to buy a new tool. "Honey, my favorite uncle Al just died. I'm goin' out to buy a miter trimmer."
Works for me...
