Ah yes, I heard about this in a past issue of Popular Science magazine. They take your remains, cremate them, then extract the pure carbon and put it in a diamond press. It gives a whole new meaning to "family heirloom".
However, that ad is slightly misleading, because the diamonds aren't clear/white, they have a yellow-ish hue. It's impossible with current technology to make a man-made diamond look completely natural like that.

Ooo. I saw a Modern Marvels that featured something like this. They were making diamonds out of everything, even peanut butter. Personally, I would rather the Roddenberry/Doohan treatment and be scattered in space. Or maybe like the creator of the frisbee. He was made into a frisbee.

Well if that's not stickin' to your guns, I don't know what is. I wonder where he is right now...

I remember reading an article on that many months ago in the dentist's waiting room. Hmm.
Fortunately for my future family's finances, I don't even like diamonds very well. All they will need to do is cremate me and throw my ashes into the sea.

Well, actually... The show where I saw that nugget of information actually got to play catch with one of the frisbees. It flew pretty well

If my dead body was turned into a diamond, my relatives would sell me.

So... If we are turned into carbon, surely we can be turned into something like... A soccerball?
I'm doing that to my brother XD

Being a diamond would be cool, but I still wanna be stuffed and sat on the sofa so people can see me forever ^_^
