Ashes to Ammunition

Two Alabama game wardens launched Jyly Holy Smoke LLC, a company that will turn a loved one’s cremated remains into ammunition. Family members can then fire the ammunition in remembrance of the decedent.

The company currently has only two clients, though the two founders have received inquiries from hunters and members of both law enforcement and the military. One pound of ashes fills around 250 shotgun shells, and costs start at $850.00.
