Makes you wonder.) &nbsp;(or you can do it when you are alive through hair samples) and they take it, heat it up and make a diamond. Is this legal in Canada? You wonder?<\/p>\n<p>There is an&nbsp;Icky element to this as well as a comfort element also. Probably the euew part is taking the parts from &nbsp;the body and sending it on. Once again is this legal?<\/p>\n<p>The cost it says ranges from $3,000 to $25,000 and you can prearrange. I want to ask a feng shui expert what they think of this?<\/p>\n<p>I have to wonder if future generations are going to just hand down the diamonds or tell the whole story here! Dear relatives you are gathered here to discuss your inheritance&#8230;&#8230;in the will you get Grandma diamond and you get the pet dog, wear well dear relatives???<\/p>\n<p>Also, I have to ask do these diamonds have any value except for the family? Can you sell Grandma?<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly it says you can also have a pet made into a diamond on its passing too.<\/p>\n<p>Something to surely think about.<\/p>\n<p>Kind of gives new meaning to the phrase &#8220;Diamonds are Forever&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Quote for you:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.&#8221;&nbsp;Emma Goldman<\/p>\n<p>(In this instance I&#8217;m with you Emma.)<\/p>\n<p>Until we meet again, Sharon<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
