Jeez Leweez! Who the hell could conceive of such a thing?
IMHO, that’s something I would do to some body really HATE!
"Yes, you jerk, after this duel, I’m going to cremate you,
squeeze the very carbon from your bones, and make a DIAMOND
of it as at trophy of my victory! Perhaps a nice ear ring
to wear as a message to all your friends - DON’T mess WITH ME!
HH HA HA AHA AH AHAHHHHH!
Yikes! personally - I want to be freeze dried, broken up
into little bits and tossed of the space shuttle, so that
as the disbursed particles enter the atmosphere, my loved ones
will see a shooting star. Neat huh?
What do you want them to do with your bod when your not
using it any more?
It’s a little wierd. I cannot conceive of pointing to a diamond sitting on the mantle and saying “That’s my mother.” Personally I think remains should be put out of sight. They’re dead and gone and so they should be. But if that makes someone feel better, ok, I’m not going to tell them they can’t.
“I wanted to use my mother’s engagement ring but then something better came up. It IS my mother.”
As for my body I want a nice big Mausoleum with a door that I can open from the inside should I somehow happen to awake. Nothing scares me more then the thought of being buried alive.
Yes but you will be pumped full of chemicals, put in a sealed coffin and that will be placed inside a cement vault. No worms will get you. The preacher man may say dust to dust but you will sit in the coffin for really long time.
This diamond thing dosen’t bother me. I still like the fireworks idea better.
I thought of a practical application. Say a fellow is an avid work-working hobbist. After cremation and diamondification, his gem remains could be used to manufacture a diamond-tipped saw blade and he can continue cutting wood into the afterlife.
And why should the God of the Dead suffer from Taphophobia?
When I kick the bucket, I just want to be put in a pine box and be put in the ground. No long wakes, no long funeral. Also, if someone wants to come see me get buried, they better get there quick. Save the money from my life insurance and use it for life, darn it, not my death.
I’m a person who would really love to believe in ghosts, so if someone disrepects my above-mentioned wishes and turns me into jewelry, I will SO come back to haunt them. Besides, who wants to spend their “eternity” on someone’s grubby hand? Or worse yet, in their EAR! Eww.
Well, I’ve always wanted to have at least my head cryogenically frozen, placed on a space probe, and fired out of the solar system.
If not that, I’d like to be taken to Antarctica, in some remote region, and left to freeze solid after being posed defiantly, fist towards the sky, as if to challenge the very heavens. And perhaps not to be discovered by other humans again for centuries.
In any case, I don’t want to be too warm for eternity, unlike Sam McGee.
Well, I for one, think the saw blade thing is a FANTASTIC idea.
That is as a way to treate someone you didn’t like. Use
the blade to cut wood for coffins!
Boy this thread could get a lot more goolish - dontcha think!
Personally, I want to be turned into an enormous star sapphire, set in an altar with trick lighting to make it look like I’m pulsing with unholy energy and then worshipped.
And if you sign up for my death cult now, I’ll throw in a free Slortar decoder ring and a pack of bubblegum…
