Zusammenfassung:A plaster comprising hydrated plaster and cremated remains (cremains) having a mean average particle size of less than or equal to 440μm. Methods are given for coating a substrate such as stone, wood or canvas to form a picture, and for moulding an item from this plaster. The plaster may be a clay, gypsum, cement, or lime-based plaster and may comprise a rheology modifier (e.g. a polymer) or a pigment. The ashes may be sieved or filtered before use to determine or separate differing sized grains for use in the mixture e.g. mean average particle sizes of 75-119μm, 120-234μm, and 235-440 μm. Ideally the ash particles have a size greater than 75 microns and make up typically 1.5 to 6.0% (wt-wt) of the mixture.
