I think I would like to be a diamond (page 2)

Abandoned

It would be awful if it ever got stolen or lost though.

If it were stolen, though, would it be considered kidnapping or grand theft?

this is a case where I'd be worth a lot more dead than alive!

A 200lb man makes about 40lbs of ash.

Well, then I won't worry about going on a diet now. I'll lose those last 10 pounds when I'm cremated.

And if what you say is true, maybe they can make a tiara out of my ashes instead of a single diamond, or a nice tennis bracelet at least.

Here's what I'd probably generate!!

I don't think they use all of the ashes. This is the only company I know of that does this: www.lifegem.com

There's a company that makes ashes into concrete forms that get dropped into the ocean to become new parts of coral reefs.

I also heard of a company that would incorporate your ashes into fireworks and you'd have a lightshow for your memorial - that's how I'd want to go out!

I liked the idea of something beautiful coming out of my death. The fireworks idea is a good one as well. Honestly, anything is better than rotting in the ground.
