Re: Funerals
I want to be cremated and the my ashes turned a gemstone. From the first time I heard about it I decided that's what I want done. After I'm a stone I want it cut into 4 pieces, one for each of my kids so they will always have a physical reminder of me

Re: Funerals
I don't think your ashes will create a big enough gemstone to cut into four sizable pieces. But it is a neat idea.lcpl seilicki wrote:I want to be cremated and the my ashes turned a gemstone.

Re: Funerals
you can get turned into a stone of 2.5ct, so each one of my kids would get a half carat stone. Which while not huge, its big enough not to be lost easily

Do you have a link to that? I'm rather intrigued by the concept.lcpl seilicki wrote:you can get turned into a stone of 2.5ct, so each one of my kids would get a half carat stone. Which while not huge, its big enough not to be lost easily

If you think I'm paying £2200 and above to become a pretty gem thats gonna get left in a jewelry box somewhere (or not, since I am incredibly unlikely to have children or a wife) then you got another thing coming.

Re: Funerals
To much effort IMO, just bonefire the left overs and drink till the first person falls in the fire. Then you know you're done for the day.

Sounds like a plan to me.

You do know, that just means a bunch of doofus medical students will get to practice on you... and that's it, right? They probably won't run any important experiments on you, or resurrect you as a cyborg killing machine.Deepcrush wrote:Hell no, I'm a donor for science. There won't be a scrap of me left by then.

You mean they'll just perform CPR then send him on his way?
