On the other hand, those huggable urns give me the creeps. Strangely, I think getting a diamond out of someone is cool. On the other hand, those huggable urns give me the creeps.

I watched a news report months back on a woman who makes "memorial paintings" by mixing the ashes of the dead loved one into the acrylic paint. It didn't help things that she couldn't paint very well. The scary thing is, I wonder if I would buy one of these things if I was distraught enough? Life Gems are ewwy.

Nothing provides a loving, lasting memory like a stuffed parent. When one of my family members die, we simply call the taxidermist. Nothing provides a loving, lasting memory like a stuffed parent.

We discussed the creepiness of wearing a loved one and hoped her mother would reconsider. She did.

My boyfriend at the time was sitting with me, watching a morning show in my hospital room. When a short clip about the product came on, he turned to me and said, "you know that diamond ring you've been hounding me for? Well, now you know where you can get it. Off of my dead body!" Sweet guy. After we broke up I briefly considered cashing in that promise. I was hospitalized for surgery around the time that product came out.

She was all about the jewelry, so the thought of being a huge eff-off rock on someone's finger might work. Ew, now I just feel dirty. “Bleh, creepy!” was my immediate thought, but my grandma might actually have been into this.

My dog already goes after the stuffed animals, so I can only assume that I'd eventually have to deal with cleaning Mom up off the floor, while keeping the dog from eating her off the carpet. Gross. As for the diamond? My mom has secretly been getting estimates on how many carats dad would be. Her only concern is that he'll have too many flaws. Ba-dun-ching!
