[quote]A grieving Italian father had his dead son transformed into a diamond.
The devastated dad exhumed and cremated the 20-year-old’s body before sending the ashes off to Switzerland so they could be compressed into the gemstone.[/quote]

that's honestly a lot better than ashes.
Making jewelry out of your dead enemies. That'd be gangster as fuck.
I want this done to me.

when i die
Didn't Vsauce mention this as a possibility in one of his more recent videos about owning a corpse?
This actually seems a hella lot more respectful than just dropping someones corpse into the ground or stuffing it in a vase/box that's just going to be put into a box for about a few decades.
He went to Jared :)
I'd do something like this and have my diamond form put into my family heirloom ring that is given to my kid, and each generation is added to the ring until eventually it is one big diamond ring.

Yeah but what do you do with the diamond? Put it on a ring?
"Wow thats a beautiful stone in that ring, what kind is it?"
"Oh thats my dead son"
how fucked up would that be if his son's name was jared tho for real

"Isnt he just a diamond!"
I heard of companies doing this sort of thing a while back. Probably expensive as shit.

"Hey where's *family member's name*? Oh, he went to Jared. Got bought by a nice couple a few hours ago"

One thing that could be done is a setup where the family has a "family tree" gravestone. Everyone's named, date of birth, date of death, is inscribed into the stone, and their diamond drilled into, and cemented into place.
That way you would have a complete family tree, and it would be respective of the life and death of those families blood lines.

My name is Jared. I need to do this when I die.

traditional burials can be incredibly expensive

About $2,400 for a 24kt diamond.

A crown made of all the kings that have reigned before

Actually. How about having a sword where the pummel is made with the cremation diamonds of your family members and ancestors.
Brings a whole new meaning to, "My ancestors are looking upon me with proud eyes!"
My mother wanted this done, I think it's a better alternative to burial, more space efficient at least.
Here's another company that offers it: [URL="http://www.lifegem.com/"]LifeGem[/URL]
That actually sounds really awesome. I'd want that for me when I die

For comparison, a casket goes for an upward of $900
Embalming, and basic funeral service is an upwards of $3,000
That's not even counting the burial plot and gravestone.
Imagine if they changed whole plot in Dexter and he would actually turn his victims into diamonds and collect them this way instead of the blood samples, it would actually make it more interesting because he would have to handle the bodies.
And then you get sold to a pawn shop so your shitty grandkid can buy drugs.

Until somebody runs off with the gravestone.
I think the ring idea is better. If somebody tries to mug the barer then they'd have to fight for it rather than simply plucking a gravestone out of the ground.

That'd be pretty metal. That way the family tree would literally be made out of dead people.

This is serious James Bond shit
When I die, compress me into a round diamond shaped like a 5 millimeter steel ball and have Jörg Sprave launch me off into the distance, for one of his slingshot videos.
I had no idea and never would have guessed that this was a thing. That's cool as shit.
That's pretty fucking mineral.
