A Swiss company can turn cremated remains into diamonds!
Or you can let these burial pods turn you into a tree when you die.

Oh, Goody.
A MORE expensive alternative to being buried and your heirs loose you to a diamond conglomerate!

Jeez, I can't decide! Do want to be a diamond or a tree? Can I be a diamond that they plant to grow a diamond tree?
Ooow, how 'bout I become a tree and then they burn me to make a diamond from the ashes! And then they can plant the diamond and grow a diamond tree!!

Especially if you don't remove the knife!
The problem I can see with the tree option, is that some municipalities and states mandate embalming. That can't be that good for the tree.

Actually embalming is rarely required by law, unless the body is to be shipped by common carrier.

As for me, I plan to donate my body to the nearest medical school. If I'm lucky, I may get dissected by a cute female med student. |
