I tend to avoid funerals because I'm not really a mourning person

Did you know that you can turn a person’s ashes into diamonds?

No? Neither did I, and after extensive research I have discovered that this is in fact completely true. An American (typical!) company will turn your loved ones ashes into a diamond that you can wear forever. For me, I fail to see the creepy side and absolutely love this idea. If anyone is taking note, this is exactly what I want to happen to mine!

As I was delving into the prospect of this idea, I also uncovered that you can have a person’s ashes made into a fireworks display. What better a way to celebrate someone’s life! Granted it will be over in a matter of minutes never to be seen again, but what a great few minutes’ right?

Apologies for the sombre mood this post has taken, but this idea intrigued me. And the craziness doesn’t stop there. In this day and age, the passing of a loved one no longer needs to be such a solemn and sober affair. Here are some other weird and wonderful things you can get done with your remains:

• ·        Get loaded into bullets
• ·        Get turned into a pencil (240 pencils to be exact)
• ·        Launched into space
• ·        Turned into coral reef
• ·        Painted into a work of art
• ·        Launched in a helium balloon
• ·        Be the sand in an hourglass
• ·        Be built into a pyramid
• ·        Press them into your favourite record
• ·        Tattoo them into someone’s skin
• ·        Incorporated into a Frisbee

So come on, what would you do? Have any innovative and unique ideas of your own?
