Ashes to diamonds?

I'm an avid reader of a certain "makeup guru" and just recently she posted a link to a website that actually processes bones from a deceased loved one (their ashes) into genuine diamonds.  WOW!  What has the world come to?  I don't know what to make of this since I believe diamonds are beautiful creations of nature but when you alter it from ashes, I'm not really feeling it.  Coming from a widow, I cannot see myself regurgitating my husband's ashes into diamonds.  I'd be flashing a fantastic piece of jewelry saying "Hey, look at this, he's dead!"  Appalling don't you think?

However, I did click on the link and request further information about it and can you believe they charge by the thousands, some even $5000+!  OMG!  Uh, no!  Here's the link if you're interested: lifegem.com
