Screw that!  I wonder how many are doing it?  Like anybody is going to know that that's their loved one on their finger!  I just want to be cremated and put in an urn.  I'd like the urn to be in the bedroom on a dresser.  This way, I can watch all the fun that goes on in there!   ;)  Buying an expensive piece of real estate to bury me in just doesn't make sense to me either.

This must be for people who always want their loved one to be 'close' to them.  Gawd yes, creepy.

I figured that I'd either have Hubby stuffed and mounted or turned into a diamond.  Either way, we could pass him down from generation to generation.  Or, I'd just sell him on ebay and use the money for a singles cruise.

I've thought this was a cool thing since I first heard of it 4 years ago. If you can afford it, why not? After sizable donations to charity, of course!

I think that it's great because even if you lost it or it was stolen, it would probably not be destroyed. It might travel around the world for hundreds of years. Change hands scores of times. Or it might just end up on the finger of you great-great-great-great-great Goth niece.

YAY!

Good thinking, Mum, although if you had him stuffed, it might save a few $$$ on batteries.
