Some chick was just talking about this on that Carson Daily show. This company uses the carbon remains of a person or pet to make diamonds. Beyond creepy.
 
I don't know I think I like the idea. I know I'd much rather have a nice gem set over a pot of ashes of Uncle Herbert in the sitting room.

We're gonna run out of graves soon so we might as well! :p j/k

I think it's a pretty novel idea...increases the sentimental value of jewelery 100 fold.

It's the one grandma gave me. And it's made of my grandpa.

Sign me up, when I die my offspring can wear me around their neck while my spirit helps them solve crime mysteries.

That is so awesome. I'm going to call my mom and ask her if I canwear her around my neck when she goes.

What would really be fucked up is if this idea became extremely popular, and Life Gems had an actual value worth stealing/killing for.

i'm resisting the urge to make a very obvious Soylent Green reference here...

They don't do pearls. It'd be great to have some poor girl show off her necklace made out of her father. :(

That is beyond weird.

I don't think we've yet coined an adjective to properly express how strange this is.

I don't know, keeping your relatives in a dust bin is a little bit more creepy to me. At least this is beautiful.

Lifegems is people! LIFEGEMS IS PEOPLE! NOOOOOOOOOOO!




*edit*
ps: After thinking it over for a while, this is a totally awesome idea, but its too expensive..

Maybe their body should be donated to the Anything for Oilinator Machine. They would give back to the environment in more ways than one!

Awesome idea.

Ideally, I was hoping to be cremated then baked into some sort of food that would then be consumed at my funeral party. But talking to friends and family, no one else seems to think that idea is as cool as I do.

This is the next best thing, I hope it is still around when my body decides to let me go. :D

I'd wanna be put on a ring. When worn my spirit would grant the bearer magical powers and extremely high luck. It'd be like a ring right out of an RPG!
