Got a loved one who's shuffled off the mortal coil or is likely to in the near future? Want the most compact imaginable storage? Just have the carbon sucked out of their dead body and used to make a diamond in a color of your choice. Some of the smaller-carat diamonds say you must order two or more at pretty impressive prices -- I'm hoping you can do that using a single relative rather than having to have more than one to, ahem, work with.

UPDATE:
There's a Yahoo article on this, too:
