Abstract: A method can use the ashes of pet or human remains and combining them with natural materials and chemical stabilizers to form, under high pressure, strong building materials. These internment blocks can be formed in an unlimited variety of shapes and weights and can be used to build permanent structures. The ashes are forever protected from the elements and are in a final resting place as part of the memorial structure. The building blocks require zero perpetual care and can last up to or beyond 1000 years. The building blocks can be designed into a lasting memorial of the size and scope desired. In their final cured state, the building blocks can be as hard as stone and impervious to moisture.
