For most of us, the fact that we will eventually die is a frightening reality that we prefer to avoid thinking about. For Wildcatters, it is the next great adventure. Everyone will die, but what will your death mean? We think a lot about our legacies and the loved ones we leave behind, but what about doing something big with your body after you done using it?
1. Let your light keep shining…as a diamond!
You know what they say – diamonds are forever! What better what to spend your afterlife than an eternity as an actual diamond? There are several companies out there that will turn your cremated ashes into a unique diamond from anywhere from a couple hundred to a couple thousand dollars. The final products are all different depending on the chemical makeup of the body, but each is a gorgeous, real diamond for a loved one to turn into jewelry or put on display. Gives a whole new meaning to the “family jewels”…
2. Turn your life into art and become a tattoo
You know what else is forever, for better or for worse? Tattoos. Have your cremated ashes turned into permanent tattoo ink for loved ones to use and carry you with them until they die. Your ashes will become a permanent piece of art and living tribute – how cool is that?
3. Go clean with mushroom food and clean compost
If your concerns are environmental and you really want to do something to pay it forward after your death, then look no further than the Infinity Suit. This innovative suit is made of mushroom spores that clean the toxins from your body, leaving behind a perfectly clean compost. This is very real way to feel part of the grand circle of life.
4. Create life after death as a tree
Trees are life! They make the oxygen necessary for us to breathe and play important roles in ecosystems. Create a living urn from your cremated ashes to be planted wherever you desire. If you’ve ever read The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein, then we know you’re already convinced.
5. Launch yourself towards the heavenly sky by way of a brilliant firework display
For under $1000, you can have your cremated ashes packing into a brilliant firework display that will essentially scatter your ashes amid an amazing light spectacle in the sky. Make it even more interesting and arrange for them to be launched at your memorial. This method really takes” going out with a bang” to the next level!
