This is so bizarre I have to post it. Burial too much, cremation not enough? Well there is an alternative. How about a lovely set of earrings?
In Europe, it seems, some people have decided that the best way to deal with their departed loved ones is to turn them into diamonds. Yes, that's right, diamonds. From The Guardian:
"A Swiss company, Algordanza, is turning human ashes into diamonds at a cost of between €3,750 and €15,500 (£2,470 to £10,200), depending on the size and cut of the stone.
"The jewellery business was founded in 2004 and now operates in 17 countries, including France, Germany and Spain. Its website offers a detailed explanation of how the ashes become a diamond: from the chemical processes used to treat the carbon to its high-pressure, high-temperature synthesis into a stone, which may be engraved."
Just imagine taking your wife out for a night on the town and bringing her mother along too.
