This creeps me out on a number of levels.
The LifeGem ® is a certified, high-quality diamond created from the carbon of your loved one as a memorial to their unique life.
Yes. You did read that right. It's a "diamond" created from the CARBON OF YOUR LOVED ONE.
I don't think there are enough ways to say "EEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW" to express how I really feel about this.
"Hey, nice diamond. Where did you get it?"
"Well, it's from my [insert deceased person here]."
"Oh. Where did he/she get it?"
"No, you don't understand. It IS my [deceased person here]."
"Oh. Um, yeah."
I just HAD to read more about these LifeGems...
This is part of their "process": Originally, we began the LifeGem creation process by capturing carbon from existing remains of your loved one's standard cremation. While we can, and still do, use this process for those who have previously lost a loved one, capturing carbon from a lock of hair means a LifeGem diamond is now available for anyone choosing cremation or burial... or if you purely want to create a symbol of your precious bond with someone you love.
OK. I have to stop now. I can't write any more. I'm way too creeped out.
If you really need/want to know more, go here. Don't say I didn't warn you.
[You might be wondering how I stumbled on this "gem" of a web site. It was an ad on the bottom of a TV news station home page. It made me cringe, so of course I checked it out.].
