\"reef480-blog480\"<\/a>I couldn\u2019t figure out how to delicately bring up the subject of what my parents want done with their bodily remains after death.<\/p>\n

The topic is awkward on all sides. If you\u2019re elderly, you may worry that just talking about what happens after death could be depressing or bad luck. (Is that wood-knocking I hear?) And if you\u2019re the child of an elderly person, you don\u2019t want it to look like you\u2019re jumping the gun or already toting up your inheritance.<\/p>\n

Recently, though, I came across some unusual options beyond the standard burial and cremation. And it struck me that saying something like, \u201cHey, Dad, did you hear we can turn your ashes into diamonds?\u201d might be an excellent way to get the discussion rolling on how this final act should play out. I tried it.<\/p>\n

I discovered that even though my folks purchased burial plots many years ago, they have now decided they want to be cremated. Go figure. I suggested they sell the plots and take themselves to a fancy dinner.<\/p>\n

In the spirit of public service to caregivers and their loved ones, here\u2019s a quick rundown of some alternatives to the traditional coffin burial. Discuss amongst yourselves.<\/p>\n

Ashes to Dust to Diamonds<\/strong>
\nAs it turns out, your cremated ashes can be made into jewelry for your family and friends to wear and remember you by. In a seven-step process, a company called Cremation Solutions will turn\u00a0a few ounces of cremains into a diamond<\/a>; depending on color and carat size, the cost runs anywhere from $2,500 to $25,000.<\/p>\n

For $150, you can order a hand-blown glass pendant that holds a tiny portion of the ashes to \u201cwear as a necklace or hang from your rear-view mirror,\u201d the company says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the Fishes<\/strong>
\nDon Brawley got the idea for his company,\u00a0Eternal Reefs<\/a>, one day a few years back from his father-in-law, who was watching as Mr. Brawley dropped concrete balls in the sea around Florida to build up disappearing coral reefs.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said, \u2018I want you to put my remains in those artificial reefs, so I can spend eternity with the grouper and the snapper,\u2019\u201d Mr. Brawley recalled. He did as his father-in-law asked, and continues to do for others, too.<\/p>\n

Families can simply send the remains to Mr. Brawley to incorporate into the concrete balls, which he supplies free to seven state agencies to help rebuild reefs. Or relatives can get even more involved. One family placed a wedding ring in a concrete ball, along with a loved one\u2019s ashes; another spelled out \u201cI love you, Dad\u201d with pebbles on the ball\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n

The balls can weigh 600 to 4,000 pounds, depending on how many people are included; the largest can handle a family of four. Costs range from about $2,995 to $6,995.<\/p>\n

Cremation of a Different Kind<\/strong>
\nA new, eco-friendly version of cremation was first tried in Florida in 2010. Instead of fire, resomation, also known as bio-cremation, relies on mild heat, pressure and a water and alkali solution (potassium hydroxide) to\u00a0dissolve bodily tissues into a clear, sterile liquid that advocates say can be safely poured down a drain<\/a>. Metals from artificial joints, implants or fillings are recovered and disposed of, and then the bones are reduced to ash, just as it\u2019s done with regular cremation, and returned to the family.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s so green about that? Resomation uses only one-seventh the electricity and gas involved in flame-based cremation. And it\u2019s free of the mercury pollution from dental fillings and carbon dioxide emissions that are byproducts of the 1,800-degree Fahrenheit temperatures needed in conventional cremation.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a catch. So far bio-cremation is legal in only eight states: Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Oregon. New York and New Jersey are considering it. And because this technique requires new machinery, it can be more expensive than regular cremation \u2014 from $1,000 on up.<\/p>\n

Up and Away<\/strong>
\nAching for one last adventure? For anywhere from $1,000 to $12,000 (not including the cost of cremation),\u00a0Celestis Memorial Spaceflights<\/a>\u00a0will launch \u201ca symbolic portion\u201d of your loved one\u2019s cremains (less than would fill half a lipstick tube) into earth orbit, onto the lunar surface, or into deep space. So far, ashes from 600 people have rocketed from Earth, but only one has gone to the moon. That was Eugene Shoemaker, who selected and trained Apollo astronauts in lunar geology.<\/p>\n

A medical condition prevented him from following his first career choice as an astronaut. But on Jan. 6, 1998, he (one gram of him, at least) finally boarded NASA\u2019s Lunar Prospector mission and made it to the moon.<\/p>\n

Frozen in Time<\/strong>
\nHoping to return to the mortal coil? You can arrange to freeze your body (or just your head \u2014 that\u2019s cheaper) on the chance that in the future medical science might be able to bring you back. The cost for becoming a corpsicle: $28,000 to as much as $200,000.<\/p>\n

Cryogenic freezing has been around for decades now.\u00a0Some 200 bodies are said to be in storage in liquid nitrogen<\/a>, and so far it has been a one-way trip for them. (Despite what you may have heard, Walt Disney is not among them. His death certificate shows that\u00a0he was cremated and buried in California<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Sustainable Burials<\/strong>
\nConcerned about burial space running out? If your body is sent to Australia,Upright Burials<\/a>\u00a0will bury you vertically to ensure you take up the least amount of space in a cemetery field that is kept in a natural state.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not willing to go that far, consider a host of green burial alternatives to save money and natural resources. Home funerals and even backyard burials were common in the United States into the 20th century, and they are still legal in most states. The nonprofit\u00a0Green Burial Council<\/a>\u00a0offers\u00a0a downloadable guide to help plan a green burial<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why do it? Each year, according to the council, cemeteries nationwide bury more than 30 million board-feet of hardwood and 90,000 tons of steel in coffins, 17,000 tons of steel and copper in vaults, and 1.6 million tons of reinforced concrete in vaults, and more than 750,000 gallons of formaldehyde-laden embalming fluid.<\/p>\n

Donate to Science<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s not too late to get into show business. You can join\u00a0the Body Worlds exhibit<\/a>\u00a0post-mortem and have yours become one of the see-through bodies frozen in action that tour the world, educating audiences about human anatomy.\u00a0Thousands have already signed up to have their bodies undergo the plastination process<\/a>, according to the Institute for Plastination in Heidelberg, Germany, which picks up the tab.<\/p>\n

If the spotlight isn\u2019t your thing, you can still donate your body to science and have the medical school of your choice pay the handling charges. The University of Florida State Anatomical Board has posted online\u00a0contact information for medical schools that participate in whole-body donations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Or simply flip over your driver\u2019s license, sign the back and become an organ donor. Done!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
