U.S. firm presses cremated remains into diamonds
THIS LITTLE PIGGY: This blue diamond was pressed from the cremated remains of a pig. Now you can have your loved ones wrapped around your little finger, even after they're dead.
An Illinois company says it has perfected a new process to make diamonds from the deceased. For a few thousand dollars, LifeGem will extract the carbon from the cremated remains of your relative or pet, and press it into a synthetic diamond.
Dean VandenBiesen, vice-president of operations at LifeGem, said the idea for the company came from his brother Rusty, now the company's chief operating officer.
"The traditional methods of burial or having ashes in an urn just didn't sit right with him," VandenBiesen said. "But he realized that man is made of carbon and diamonds are made of carbon so he just put the two ideas together."
