I've made it clear to mine that I do not want to be buried. I've suggested lifegem but will leave it to them. While lifegem can make diamonds from cremated remains, they don't use all the ashes leaving some for distribution in a meaningful place.
I just think its the height of human selfishness to tie up a peice of earth for all eternity just to house a lousy skeleton. I understand burial and respect the idea of having a place to pay one's respects but there should be a moratorium on how long you can tie up that patch of earth. If no one alive knows who you were, then maybe its time to surrender the claim.
If I had to decide now, I'd go for three diamonds with the rest being scattered in the small town in France where I made my debut.
