Burial, Cremation, Jewelry, or Eco-Friendly
At the end of all estate planning, I provide a form that allows my clients to think about what they want for a funeral, memorial, and disposition of their remains. They are able to then take that and complete it at their convenienc.
I usually mention burial or cremation because they are the most common. However, there are two other methods for the disposition of remains that have become available because of technology.
Several years ago, I saw this website that allows you to have your loved ones remains turned into manmade diamonds.
Just recently, I saw this post by the Professor Beyer on his blog. A new company Promessa uses a process to freeze dry a person's remains and turn it into an eco friendly powder. Follow the links to see how your loved ones remains can be returned to the cycle of life and serve to nurture the growth of a tree planted in memorial.
