So I am watching this show on A&E called Family Plots...
...and it seems that the owner was able to find a company that turned his deceased sons ceamains into diamond jewelry. Actually, he had a diamond ring and two diamond earrings made with them.
Here's my dilemma... I thought at first that it was a really neat thing to do, but on second thought I am wondering if it is in poor taste or not to turn a person's body into a more valuable possession. It would definitely add more contention to divorce claims and inheritance issues now that mom's remains are worth a chunk of cash rather than still in an urn. I guess you would need to insure it against theft, too.
They say diamonds are forever.
I'm open to others thoughts on the matter.
