ashes 2 gems © is a spin-off organisation from our sister organisation lastwishes.org.uk.

We are associated with a laboratory that uses a revolutionary process to make real diamonds from carbon derived from either ashes ('cremains') or hair and nails from a living loved-one, perhaps even a dead but sadly missed pet.

It's interesting but kind of gross at the same time.

What about getting burried together? I know some people who put the ashes of their loved one in the casket with them when they die. I don't think it will hold the same sentiment if there's just a diamond there.

Rueters News Report:

In some parts of China, space has become so limited that they freeze the corpse, put a steel cone on it's head and a pair of cement shoes on it's feet. They then pile drive the body into the ground and families may write their epitaph on the soles of their cement shoes.

Well now that's one way of getting (hammered) Posted Image

Would make awesome Christmas presents, prescious stone jewlery made from a prescious family member. Actually, that isn't a really bad gift considering there are many people who would keep their family's ashes anyway and this way they can have them there but looks much nicer. I would consider it. And I'm sure you could put the "prescious gem of Dad" on the mantel and not to actually wear him.

Oh, I just checked out the website and I think it's a scam.... they claim they can send the ashes to the moon. Oh, well it seemed like a good idea.

It is not as bad as buying the crypt above above Marilyn Monroe. The last bid for it was 4.5 million. I would rather use that bread while I'm living. The lady who owns it is selling it to pay off her mortgage of 1.6 million.

hahahaha, what a novel idea.

My sis & I have a joke gift that we've passed about the family for years..... it's a sweater, of the most dreadful sort, some rellie knitted the thing long ago, someone gets it every year!..... your idea sounds like it could finally take the place of the sweater to become the Christmas gag gift..... :thumbsup:
