Luminous 0 #1 July 31, 2007 want a diamond created from the carbon of a loved one? www.LifeGem.com sounds but according to the dude on the radio this morning they are doing big business.

ACMESkydiver 0 #2 July 31, 2007 I saw that a while ago and would have considered doing it if I lost a family member, but now I'm against it personally. I just feel that ALL of the ashes/body needs to go back in the ground/sea/however it's being returned to the earth. Holding onto a piece of it somehow seems to not allow the dead to rest in my mind...like you're trying to hold on physcially somehow and that doesn't make sense to me. I know there are a few cultures that believe in that as well -ashes to ashes, and all returned to the earth. I just know that that's what I would do if I had to bury a loved one personally. But to each their own. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katzeye 0 #3 August 1, 2007 I'd probably do it for my dog and my horse... but a human loved one is kinda creepy. Is a chicken omelette redundant? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So all of their remains are still handled according to the persons wishes either with burial or cremation.__ My mighty steed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
