"The UK-based company has been around since 2009, when Jason Leach launched it 'just for fun' at first. But a lot of people liked the idea and have kept him in business."
"The basic service generally costs between £1000 and £3000 GBP, and it partly depends on how many vinyl records you produce. From what we can tell, you cannot use copyright-protected music to fill up the 18-22 minutes per side."
"No doubt, the service can provide comfort and a memory trigger for those left behind. The above video, 'Hearing Madge,' is a short doc about a son who took recordings of his mother and used And Vinyly to make a record out of them."
"'I'm sure a lot of people think that it's creepy, a lot of people think it's sacrilegious,' the man says. 'But I know my mother wouldn't have. She would've thought it was great.'"
And Vinyly offers a service to press ashes into playable vinyl records, allowing the deceased to 'live on from beyond the groove.' Founded in 2009 by Jason Leach, the service has gained popularity despite its cost, ranging from £1000 to £3000 depending on the number of records produced. Users cannot include copyrighted music but can choose personal recordings or natural sounds. This service provides comfort and a unique memory trigger for those left behind, as illustrated by a son who created a record from his mother's voice recordings.
