man made diamonds
gotalife asked:


There really is a company called, LifeGem in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, that has perfected transforming cremated remains into man-made diamonds. So given that new alternative to dealing with your remains, which would you prefer?

    We are all already diamonds in the rough…
    Working to become pure gemstones of unqualified perfection…
    If we are lucky, maybe Jesus will come before we get to the point of dying…

    Once I am dead, why should I care what happens to my remains? Most likely thing seems my bones will end up in a gulley someplace anyway.

    Cremated and used to fertilize rose bushes.

    I really don’t want any permanent public memorial to me left behind. I think it’s creepy.

    Whichever way my future family can afford. I’m sure this turning-diamond business isn’t free, either. They (the diamond company) might ask for an arm, a leg and a testicle… well, if I had any.

    :o)

    Is the question really worth ? I dont know
    But I understand that no one really can eat their tomorrows food today. better to be a rose or a butterfly or be human being again.I am ready to take a thousand births if god permits me.Because life has always been beautiful.

    I’d be dead so I don’t think I’d really care.

    when i die i want to be cremated and sprinkled at the base of an evergreen tree. then i want a plaque of somekind mounted to the tree trunk (kinda like a tumbstone). i don’t know yet whet i want it to say (i’m still too young to know what i want it to say).

    i don’t like diamonds - so, i don’t want to be turned into a diamond.
