"a diamond lasts forever" continued.

More info incase you'd like to know:

You only need 8ounces of ashes to create a diamond... No more.

They really stress that you don't send it all. There's actually enough carbon in humans to create 50-100 diamonds. They can also store some extra carbon incase your loved one's diamond is lost/stolen.

You can also get diamonds made from a lock of hair. Typically funeral homes or animal hospitals will give you this option but some do not.

I looked into this subject a little more and found this artile from WIRED.

"You can do a lot of neat things with dead people after they've been baked at 1,700 degrees for a couple of hours and reduced to a pile of bone fragments." It touches on the Life Gem company, rocketing ashes out into space or being mixed into a painting.

The more i think about it, the more i like this idea. I mean i always thought it was a crude way to RIP by decomposing in a field with a stone to give people a place to remember you. A diamond is a great idea because a person can where it everyday and always know they have their loved one's memory close. Rather than visiting a stone in a cemetary every once in awhile. Mourning is a completely personal thing. No one has to know your ring is your grandmother unless you want them to know.
