SPARKLING bright inside their box, it’s hard to believe these diamonds are made from the cremated remains of the deceased.

Swedish funeral company Miraj have been offering the service for eight years and produce diamonds from ashes in a variety of colours and shapes for a price between £2,360 and £15,750.
