[asa] Science & Burial Customs

Hi all,

Saw this interesting article below on how the "green" movement is changing burial customs (and by extension, how science is enabling this change):

This reminded me of another option I heard of relating to the usage of cremated remains to create artificial diamonds, which are then worn by their loved ones. Amazing stuff, if a bit morbid. I wonder, does Christian theology have anything to contribute to this topic?

In Christ,
