I thought it was a straight choice between burial or cremation. But now there's a third option for music-lovers heading for the giant record fair in the sky: vinyl reincarnation.

A company called Rest In Vinyl is providing a rather unique service - the chance to spin on for eternity after it creates a vinyl record made of...um...well....YOU.

According to its website http://www.andvinyly.com/ RIV turns your ashes into a vinyl recording featuring a personal message, your last will and testament, your home-made soundtrack, or simply your very own 'pops and crackles'.

Anyone tempted? Massive chaps may be more interested than the women, if only for the fact that they'd achieve their lifelong dream of being 12".
