My wife wants to be made into a diamond when she passes. Apparently there is a company that will take your ashes and compress them to make a man made diamond from them. Pretty cool and novel idea.

As for celibrity deaths lately, it sure is interesting how the media covers it and the circus around it.

Great post. As a person who helps people plan unique events that celebrate lives, I think that you’ve made a great point at an even more appropriate time. As we see the Boomer generation age, and do things “their way”, I can only imagine the changes we will see to the funeral industry as we know it. It is exciting to be on the cusp of this change, knowing first-hand the potential that exists for more meaningful events to remember lives lived. Thanks again.

I think most people do not think about their funeral plans and how they would realy like it to be otherwise we would be seeing a lot of very fun funerals with people having fun and not being so sad. Great story and read.. Thanks

I think it’s a great idea to plan your memorial service while you’re still alive. I mean, you’re obviously not going to obsess over it, but just knowing it’s done and planned will give you peace of mind. Also, when the time comes, your loved ones will know that they are doing exactly what you want!

Planning a funeral or planning a memorial service id advance of your death is just so wrong. Enjoy life don’t spend it thinking about death! Everyone should live for the moment, stop thinking about your own funeral.

Hi Anne, you certainly have given me something to think about.. I think the most recent funerals that were memorable send offs were Hunter Thompson’s ashes being shot out of a cannon (thanks to Johnny Depp) and James Doohan (Scotty from Star Trek) who is floating in space (I think about a quarter of his remains).

Nice post Anne! I am still grieving myself. Can’t even listen to music without grieving. I’m talking any kind of music, because it all reminds me of MJ. He was the sound track of my life, and it still hurts. It has actually surprised me how much this has effected me, like losing a family member.
