Is pressing the ashes of the dead onto records an odd novelty or tender remembrance? 

When it first made headlines in 2010, Jason Leach’s UK-based company [And Vinyly](http://www.andvinyly.com/?ref=hypebot.com) – which presses the ashes of the deceased into vinyl records for loved ones wishing to hold onto their memory – appeared to be something of a macabre novelty. But there might be more to preserving the departed (quite literally) on records than first meets the eye – and ear. "Hearing Madge" explores how Leach’s venture was given new meaning when he was approached by a man looking to save his mother’s recollections that he had recorded shortly before her death. Surprisingly touching, Andrea Lewis’s short documentary is both a profile of an unusual business and a thought-provoking contemplation of the ways we chose to remember the dead.Doing this isn't cheap. The basic package is about $3750 USD and gets you 30 copies of the memorial record, each of which contains some of the provided ashes.H/T to [A Journal Of Musical Things](http://ajournalofmusicalthings.com/company-will-press-ashes-vinyl-watch-video/?ref=hypebot.com)
