"Funeral director Patricia Fergerson said nobody has asked that a loved one be turned into a diamond yet. But the funeral home sees this as another service it can offer."

A Chicago company says it has developed a process for turning cremated human remains into diamonds that can be worn as jewelry.

That just sounds wrong. :Q

Well, I think I like the idea of being turned into a diamond better than being an urn full of ash.

What do people think about cemeteries? It seems like such a waste of land when you consider that most people (in the US) are buried, not cremated. On the other hand, cemeteries provide a nice somewhat natural sanctuary away from the stress & concrete of city life.

Thoughts?

Good point. Another point is, how would it feel if you lost one of these diamonds? :Q
