Dunno about you, but the only way my remains are ever going to be involved with a Diamond is if it's my Phylactory.

I believe they already have done that, or will be doing it soon. I know you can also get it in yellow and orange.

Okay. That is creepier that being a diamond or frisbee, but not unheard of. Rock on.

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.
Science just lets us have too much fun in the afterlife
My Chem teacher's husband was the scientist who figured out how to make the peanut butter diamonds.
THE MORE YOU KNOW!

Yeah, but what if you, as a bodyless soul, decide to visit your former body and find your grandchildren using you as a coaster, foot rest, or easy way to use the carpool lane? If that were me, a world-class haunting would be in order.

Drat, now if only we were silicon-based, I would request that I be turned into a computer chip, to be used in the most awesome gaming console to ever be made, and no console could ever be made that would top it. Now *that* would be awesome. Oh well...

well, they are looking into using diamond in computer processors as it can conduct stuff and withstand higher heats than anything else they've found

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.
i dont care about being a yellow diamond! thats fine! or better yet, they could try introducing whatever impurity it is that makes diamonds pink! a pink diamond!!
Cue: 50 years into the future, Rachel gets her wish and is made into the worlds most beautiful pink diamond, it is set into a gorgeous ring and given to her husband, Humphrey.
Random person: 'What a gorgeous ring! Where did you ever find such a thing?"
Humphrey: "Why thank you, the diamond is my wife Rachel."
or, per a more humoreous route:
A woman is explaining the meaning of her rings to a unsuspecting listener:
"This is my engagment right from 1944, this is my wedding band from 1946, and this is my dead husband Fred."

exactly! it would be in your will, who gets you when you die!!! MWAHAHAHAH, you could be either a great or evil mother in law if you left yourself to your son to make you into an engagement ring. hehe

Just another reason to scream when you drop your ring down the sink. "NOOOOOO! MUUUUMMMM!"
