The Loved One Launcher: An Ash-Spreading Cremation Cannon

Because who doesn’t want to go out with a bang, Cremation Solutions has developed the Loved One Launcher – a hand cannon designed for spreading the ashes of a deceased loved one like they’re confetti at a New Year’s party. Honestly, I can think of worse ways to go. Not very many, mind you, but a few.

The $375 cannon is powered by two C02 cartridges and can launch ashes up to 75-feet in the air, perfect for raining back down on everyone in attendance, leaving them all to try to brush the remains of crazy Uncle Karl off their shoulders in a panic. It’s perfect.

But let’s say you don’t have any ashes to spread at the moment – can the Loved One Launcher be repurposed as a t-shirt cannon? I’m asking for a funeral parlor/half-time show company I’m thinking about starting. I’ve already got the giant skeleton mascot costume.

Dodge Challenger Hellcat Hearse Gets You to the Grave on Time

Have you ever gotten stuck in traffic behind a funeral procession? Those things move so slowly. Perhaps they’d move faster if the hearse had more horsepower. Something like a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, with its 700+ horses, should do the trick.

Artist Rain Prisk came up with this awesome concept design for a Challenger Hellcat Hearse, with its rear end extended to make room for your dearly departed and their casket. If a 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi engine wasn’t enough to motivate this thing to the cemetery, it’s got a sleek, streamlined roof design that should definitely cut down on aerodynamic drag. Funerals are normally such quiet and somber affairs. There’s zero doubt that the Hellcat’s impressive exhaust note would perk up those in attendance.

Amazing concept, Rain! If you ever manage to convince Dodge to build one of these, I’d like to book my advance reservation now, so I can travel to my final resting place the same way I drove while I was alive.

Go Out in Style

Far from your everyday horse-drawn funeral carriage, The Last Ride was designed to remind everyone that you’ll be just as fierce in the afterlife as you were in this one! Ok… but in all seriousness- the carriage takes inspiration from classic artillery and funerary carts where the large wheels were a dominant visual element, translating this to one giant wheel with two hubless rotary tracks. With The Last Ride, it’s sure to be the most fabulous funeral everrrrr!
