Uh.. you know they just threw grandma in the garbage and sold them a 1/4 carat diamond for $3200 right?
Anyone remember the pilot guy that for ~$1000 would scatter your loved ones remains over the location of your choice? He got busted with hundreds of urns or something.
But I guess its cool if for 3 G's, you really think grandma is in that diamond somewhere. It's a good story to tell someone anyway.
I wouldn't believe it till I saw the website with photos of the plant, employees and the manufacturing process.
