Diamond - Would you want your ashes turned into a diamond?

Yes, it can be done! A company called LifeGem has come up with a unique twist on diamond creation. They create gemstones from carbon that's captured during the cremation of human remains! Can you believe that? So how do you feel about having your body turned into diamonds & leaving your loved ones some diamonds instead of ashes? I guess you can look at it as always being beautiful! I kind of like the idea, but I don't know if I would actually do this, but it's something I am looking into. Think of it like this.... you will be touched by many, you will still be sparkling after death, & you will have a shine for life! How do you guys feel about being a diamond?

Hi, it's amazing how creative people can get! Anyway, I don't think I would want my ashes converted to a diamond. I had decided on cremation to save space and costs, and then maybe just bury the ashes somewhere, or scatter them to the winds or seas! End of story for me - no tombstone, urn or diamond!

I'm not sure if I would want that or not. I would like for my husband to have part of my ashes though. I would want him to have the diamond also or my daughter if they wish to have it and keep it or wear it.
