If you’ve been meaning to update your will, now’s the time, with iconic ‘90s-band-turned-arts-pranksters The KLF (aka the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu) urging fans to send them their ashes.
The latest in a long-running string of bizarre art piece, MuMufication will see the duo, Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond, use the ashes to build a pyramid in England.
“Secure your place in the people’s pyramid,” reads a listing on their website, with people able to purchase a “Brick of Mu” that has spaces carved out of it for human remains (“23 grams of your ashes”) to be added.
“Your Brick of Mu will be used as one of the 34,592 bricks of mu required to build the people’s pyramid,” reads their website.
“The people’s pyramid will be built in toxteth.
“New Bricks of Mu will be ceremonially laid, with trowl and mortar, on the people’s pyramid on the toxteth day of the dead on the 23rd November each year.”
Whether or not this is art or another hoax from the duo remains to be seen; either way, fans are able to pick up some pretty interesting merch.

The KLF rose to fame in the early ‘90s as an electronic act, hitting #1 with classic 'stadium house' hits such as 3am Eternal, What Time Is Love and more before disbanding and turning their focus to “art terrorism”.
Last year, they made their long-awaited return with a three-day live event in Liverpool.
