This story sounds like a third Lease of life as far as the man's Skeleton goes. There is also frugality and out of box thinking involved on the part of the musician in question who was related to the deceased. The uncle died young and per his wishes:
..his skeleton was donated to a local college, where, for two decades it has served as an educational tool for students.. so far pedestrian fare but it gets interesting from here
..The school eventually found it no longer had a use for Filip’s rendered skeletal system, and returned him to Midnight in a “giant wooden box.” The Greek Orthodox family does not condone cremation, and Midnight didn’t want to continue paying for a rental “cemetery space” the partial corpse was apparently being kept at... so we now have a problem and no easy solution
..So he decided on a very personal method by which to memorialize his uncle, who first got him into heavy metal: Turn his bones into a guitar... No wonder this made news - turning ashes to diamonds was news years ago. For someone who had wished for their skeleton to be put to use, this definitely honors that wish.
