Would You Cremate Your Dead Loved Ones Into Diamond Pendants by gReenmAn(m): 1:22pm On May 11, 2009 |
There's a new fad being promoted by a company called Lifegem Company, specializing in making cremation diamonds, yes they take the carbon from your dead loved ones ashes and press it into a sparkly lab diamond for you (in a variety of colors). Now your dead relative can be with you always, not just in your heart, but on your finger or perhaps in a snazzy pendant. Wouldn't you love to keep your loved ones with you for ever, like Diamonds? |

This thing, outrageous as it might sound, but unfortunately or fortunately for some, it is REAL. Check it out for yourself www.lifegem.com |

I can definitely do it. It can be done and I would prefer that to carrying their ashes in an urn. I like the idea but it makes it hard to let go of a loved one when you carry them around. I would imagine that someone who lost someone too soon or in a tragic way would want to do this so they can wear the person close to their heart as a pendant. |

sounds nice on paper but from a pragmatic angle not good at all 1. people 'll hardly let go tho they think they have 2. God forbid, if the gem is stolen or you are robbed? means they've stolen your loved one. infact this is the kind of thing that makes people get shot during robberies |

Thats a taboo in our culture. Tufiakwa!! Anybody who does this has performed a sacriligous act and would be buried alive in the evil forest. Let the dead rest in peace. |
Re: Would You Cremate Your Dead Loved Ones Into Diamond Pendants by Nobody: 4:30pm On Jan 25, 2012 |
I would do it. And for those saying never, what if that was what your loved one wanted, it was their dying wish? Would you deny them that, just because it didn't go down well with you? Sometimes, it's not our call to say no. |
Re: Would You Cremate Your Dead Loved Ones Into Diamond Pendants by kimmerian: 5:32pm On Jan 25, 2012 |
never ever. it would be way too creepy. |

Siena:, Nobody can and should attempt to blackmail anyone into carrying them around. I am a fan of cremation and hope to be cremated and I sure wouldn't mind carrying my loved ones around in a chain, that would be cool. |

Siena: I will NOT do it ever. My loved ones all adhere to the african culture and are not westernized and lost in the western culture, thank God. I know my family members more than anyone else and no one in my family will ask for that kind of madness. In my culture, we strictly bury people, we do not cremate and we certainly don't turn them into some form of jewelry. My kids will not demand that kind of crap from me either in the future because I will not be raising them in a culture where they will be exposed to all sorts of sick crap imported from europe. Let the dead rest in peace. We are ashes and unto ashes shall we return back to the earth and not back to jewelry |

dasparrow: That's your view, and you're perfectly entitled to it. As per Western versus African culture, the Western influence is getting stronger in Africa. A lot of African ones are dying out. What we have today in Africa is a mixture of Western and African values, not a bad thing. Some of our older African practices left a lot to be desired, and their replacements were a much welcomed change. |
