Here's an idea for making yourself useful when you've gone to the Hereafter.

http://www.news-press.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20041031/NEWS01/410310488/1075

The article is actually about recent hurricane victim Howard Jones, but what is most interesting, besides the type of good person his friends describe him as, are his last wishes.

um.... i thought what this guy did was a great idea. The idea of having the fish around for eternity seems pretty cool.

That's a nice story. Ive been to Pine Island several times - great fishing!
The article blamed his death on hurricane Charley. Rather strange since his fatal mistake was running a generator improperly.

I was so jazzed about the coral thing that I totally missed that sentence. Strange indeed.

I thought that same thing Joe.... but still a nice idea for this guy....

now I don't know I kinda liked the idea of turning my loved ones ashes into diamonds

I mean what could be more useful than a diamond

wow! I mean they're pretty and all... but... I can't imagine my Mom as a set of earrings. On the other hand, I was thinking a nice velvet background with a full "family" collection might look nice on the mantle. Imagine your guests expressions when you explain how your family are real "gems".

I ran across some article somewhere about some lady who had it done to her husband and I thought what an odd idea it was at the time, but I guess it would be kinda like keeping somebody's ashes on their mantle, kinda
