Dave and I went to see a highly anticipated exhibit of mummies, animal and human in downtown SLC with our friends.
I was a bit weirded out at first but was amazed to see at how well-preserved the mummies were. But it made me think about what would I like for my body after death. I looked at some stuff on the internet about it.
I discovered online that for the price tag of $67,000 you can be mummified too by the Summum group also here in Salt Lake City.
I asked Dave "If I go first, would you make me into a diamond??" :-D
Whatever your preference, I think it's important to go with the wishes of the deceased of their burial plans, because that can provide the closure you need when they pass on.
If you look close, this mummy has his/her eyelashes intact!

As for my preferences, I would like to have my body/organs donated to those that need it, cremate the remainder of what's left, and use the ashes to make a lab-created diamond. A diamond is forever and I think it's a nice reminder of a person, whose memory you want to last forever.

i want to be cremated too! but i never thought they could turn me into a diamond. great idea!!!
ReplyDeleteI really hope this diamond thing is legit! I don't want them to send my family a diamond not made with my ashes! That's cool you want to be cremated, it is a better use of space and resources than a traditional burial. Plus nothing can stop God from resurrecting a person whether they were cremated intentionally or unintentionally like in a plane crash.
ReplyDeletePS If I go first, make sure Dave respects my wishes to be cremated. He's still trying to get used to the idea. ;-)
