Not all people have pets and perhaps some would find it upsetting to think of their loved one buried next to someone else's pet rat. Loses a bit of the dignity and sanctity, I think.
What an incredible idea, wonderfully executed! And that guitar has to be one of the coolest ever.
This is the kind of thing that keeps me checking out Neatorama; but for this blog I'd never have know about all number of not just interesting but worthy projects that ordinary people, in some very extraordinary and downright scary situations, are investing an incredible amount of talent, creativity and hard work in.
