I've heard you can get corpses of loved ones turned in to diamonds and shit like that too. And, if advertising is honest (of course it is) diamonds last forever, so that's kinda sweet.

I agree, but not everybody sees it that way. My sisters husband died about 18 months ago, she visits the cemetary once a week. I do understand to a point, after an abusive first husband and a series of loser boyfriends she finally finds a great guy and he dies suddenly 5 years into their marriage.
Now that is really sad, poor woman 🙁
I can see why that can help, slowly letting go.

There's a blood diamond joke in there but I'm too tired to find it.

And we have.
There's a temple made of bones. The creator of the frisbee was made into a pointlessly creepy batch of frisbees (as per his will). There are rare cases of human skin being used as leather for a book's binding. You can buy pencils with graphite made from human ashes. Real human teeth were used as part of Damien Hurst's scuplture "For the Love of God". The bodies of loved ones can be incorporated into small clay sculptures.
I think the most awesome use of bits of a human is by Marc Quinn. He didn't even wait until he died to make a sculpture out of his own blood. Actually, I'm surprised Cracked has never mentioned him. Not nearly as gross as it sounds: http://img.weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/body-art-marc-quinn.jpg

Well i'm asian, but i'm not sure if everyone does this or its just my family... we keep my grandparents pictures on the mantle...
you pray to them every year in remembrance and ask for help and guidance in the coming times.
we don't do it as often now... but i could see carrying that tradition if anything happens to them. it really scares me to even think they won't be here one day.
as far as dating etc goes.. i think its similar to being broken up with... except in breakups you can ask them why they left.. and sometimes get an answer for closure..
in death.. you have to find your own.. and wonder at the cruelness of a world that would take your happiness from you like that when you finally found it.
