I just heard on the news that you can send your cremated loved ones into space for the same cost as a funeral.
Also they said for $10K you can take your creamated loved one and have them carbonized and their remains will turn into a diamond. This way you can wear them wherever you go.
Has anyone ever heard of the carbonizing treatment before? How would you turn gray sooty ash into a diamond?
There was also a company that would take a small amount of the cremated ashes and swirl it into a handblown paperweight–each pattern unique (because you wouldn’t want to get Grandma’s paperweight mixed up with Uncle Fred’s).
