SPARKLING bright inside their box, it’s hard to believe these diamonds are made from the cremated remains of the deceased. The unusual ‘cremorials’ are tributes to lost loved ones created using cremated ashes. These macabre keepsakes are being offered as an alternative to more traditional forms of remembering the dead. 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.
