Pencils Made From Cremated Bodies Edit




Pencils Made From Cremated Bodies
 Posted: Apr 1, 07

You might not want to chew on this pencil - after all, it’s made from the cremated remains of a dead body.

Although no human bodies have been used just yet, artist, Nadine Jarvis is conducting a research project - post mortem research - that hopes to change the way we grieve and may even put a slightly positive spin on death.

Thought up by product designer Nadine Jarvis the Carbon Copy Pencil is made from the ashes left over from the cremation process and apparently the average body will produce enough ash to create about 240 pencils. The idea is actually part of a larger research project that looks to challenge our usual post-mortern traditions and provide alternatives that are more beneficial to grieving friends and family.
