When I Die, Please Wear Me On Your Finger
Well heck, if it only costs about as much as a funeral anyway....
The cremated remains of 80-year-old Edna MacArthur from Alberta have been presented to her family in the form of a diamond stone, the first delivery of this kind in the world, a funeral services official claimed Tuesday.
Crawford said MacArthur's remains were compressed into a 3-gram sample and flown to Italy where an Italian firm uses intense heat to incorporate the remains into carbon used to craft a diamond.
The 1/4-carat diamond was presented Monday to MacArthur's granddaughter, Tracey Somerville, and Tracey's mother, Teresa, who used to keep the cremation urn in their living room, Crawford said.

People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't think that's
what we're really seeking. I think that what we're seeking is an experience of being alive,
so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within
our innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.
