Picture: Memories From Ashes
I bet not even Leonardo thought of this: a company in the US is offering portraits of the deceased made with their own cremated remains. Yes, mixed in with the yellow ochre and prussian blue will be 'one ounce of your loved one's ashes... the ashes will not be visible. However, they will turn your painting into that extraordinary rememberance piece.'
Or, you can have the ashes incorporated into a painting such as the above, with the deceased meeting Jesus. Pet paintings are also available.
