Better Than an Urn...

[mnw]

So, your loved one dies but you want them at your wedding, do you:

1. Put their ashes in an urn and trail them along

2. Have them turned into a synthetic diamond and wear them

I like the dimond.

I may be the only one here who thinks this is a good idea. I would not do a wedding ring though. Maybe an necklace or a ring on the other hand.

How much?

Here is one company that will turn your loved one into a valuable stone:

These guys even have a family plan and a pet plan! The prices seem to start at around $2,500.

I am not sure what I think... kind of spooky.

"Hey I like your diamond, where did you get it." "Grandma". "Oh, she left it to you?" "No, it is grandma"

For me, the jury is still out on this one. My initial reaction is, "No way."

I am just waiting for a bunch of husbands to disappear and wives all over the world getting diamonds...

yuck, i think it's sick

Why?

Is it sicker then having ashes of a loved one on a shelf above the dinner table. Or dumping ashes into a river or lake?

What about that whole "dead in Christ shall rise" thing? Would the diamond disappear? Of course that brings up the subject of organ donors as well.

Why not mix them into the wedding cake?

What about that whole "dead in Christ shall rise" thing? Would the diamond disappear? Of course that brings up the subject of organ donors as well.

And the subject of cremation, and the person who died 1000 years ago and is now dirt, and the person who is vaproized in an explosion.

James, I think you were just kidding about the wedding cake, but Drudge has a story up right now about Keith Richards mixing his Dad's ashes with cocaine and snorting him.

No kidding this is too bizare to be made up
