Speaking of keepsake diamonds...

There was an artcle in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune (Metro/State
section, page B-1) this morning about a company that will take your
loved one's ashes and convert the carbon, from the bones, into a
diamond.

Oh, that's a *beautiful* diamond. Did your husband give that to you?

Oh, no, that IS my husband.

I have been thinking along the same lines, except using the ashes in a
ceramic vase, for the clay and glaze. Bones make a good flux for glazes.
Hey, a nice urn looks better than ashes "I always knew that *******
had a yellow streak" could be pointed out as fact
