You can also have diamonds made out of your cremated ashes. It's called a Memorial Diamond. I did my informative speech on it this past semester. Check out
Life Gem for more information. It's rather economical considering the cost of simple cremation or the cost of a funeral and casket. I know that someday I'd love to be cremated into a diamond....a Blue one...something my grandchildren can wear and pass on and say, "That's Grandma Amy" and smile LOL!
