Confused about what to do with your remains when you're
finished with your earthly packaging? Well, have your bitter
old corpse cremated and compressed into a gemstone!

Yes, indeed -- it's for real.

In all actuality, I saw this small snippet in the last
issue of Popular Science (Feb. 2006, p. 86), and decided
to check it out.

From the LifeGem website:

After extensive research and development, we have discovered how to extract the carbon from existing cremated remains. 
This process begins with a portion of remains from any standard crematio.

Once captured, this carbon is heated to extremely high temperatures under special conditions. While removing the 
existing ash, this process converts your loved one’s carbon to graphite with unique characteristics and elements that 
will create your one-of-a-kind LifeGem diamond like no other in this world.
