Re: Ashes made into diamonds


Don't know how I feel about this, I think I'd rather bury my pets somewhere than wear them!

I read about that also, and frankly think it's a little gruesome...not for me.

Each to his own I guess; there are people who use taxidermy too - yuk!
I've seen a service where they combine ashes into a form of 'glassware' - a vase or dish. They offer it after human creamation too. Looks quite nice, but I'm afraid it makes me shudder a bit.

Re: Ashes made into diamonds


No - it's a bit grim for me too. I have my darling Ferdy's ashes in a cat-shaped, wooden urn on my dresser. He's in the room that he like to spend time it. I think it's very fitting, Luise, our au pair thinks I'm weird.

Each to their own.
