There is a company that will extract the carbon from your remains, and synthesize a diamond.

I may have that done with my ex-brother-in-law. The diamond that resulted would have to be bigger than the Hope Diamond.

That’s a hell of an idea.

Go out with a bang.

My son and his cousins love to go dove hunting.

I taught them all how to shoot doves and we all love to eat them.

Kind of like closing the circle.

My Husband used to tell me that he wants his ashes to be shot out of a torpedo tube.

Too bad I didn’t know about this a few weeks ago before my Dad passed. He would have gotten a kick out of this.
