“She was serious when she made the suggestion,” Strauss revealed. “She actually said she would offer his ashes to me first to snort and then said she would like them.

“But the idea was nixed as I don’t do coke.”

Some of the details of their intriguing conversation are included the UK version of Strauss’ new book Everyone Loves You When You Are Dead.

And RadarOnline.com has obtained an exclusive sneak peak of the bizarre exchange:

“The place was Courtney Love’s house in Los Angeles. The time was very late. The  moment was when she leaped off her bed and suddenly said . . .

“COURTNEY LOVE: Say hi to Kurt.

“She walks to a dresser, pulls open a drawer, and removes a square-shaped tin. She removes the lid, revealing a plastic bag full of white ashes. A faint smell of jasmine emanates from the tin.

“LOVE: Too bad you don’t do coke. Otherwise I’d suggest taking a metal straw to it.
