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

I don't think your ashes will create a big enough gemstone to cut into four sizable pieces. But it is a neat idea.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, but are you well-done for the day? :P

Hell no, I'm a donor for science. There won't be a scrap of me left by then.

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.

Deep doesn't need CPR; he'll perform it on himself. :lol:
