LOL Their is also a place that converts your ashes into fireworks so your family can explode you. Dont know the link but I read it a long time ago when I read the gem and reef thing.

You humans have some strange burial customs.

The diamond thing is quite creepy.

When I die I want to be stuffed, and placed on a random park bench.

However with my luck, I'll prolly end up the object of a random necrophiliac's affection.

Wow I just went to the diamond site and that is expensive! I watched the videos on how they do it and I must say it's pretty cool. One doesnt have to be deceased to get a diamond made from their body's carbon. All one needs is a piece of hair! For a 1ct it's about 15k and up depending on color and so on. I wonder how many people have done this....

I like the second one:

Meanwhile, human mummies frequently fell victim to Victorian social events. During the late 19th century, it was popular for wealthy families to host mummy-unwrapping parties, where the desecration of the dead was followed by cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.

Oh wow, being made into a diamond would be awesome. But not sure I have the money for that. But if I did, I would definetly be made into a diamond.

Fireworks? Wow. Im not sure how that would go about, but it seems interesting.
