While I am by not inherently disturbed by the macabre (having just quit my job as histology lab technician with mortuary duties), this does bother me somewhat. I love my relatives but I would certainly not want to wear them and having some insight into crematorium procedures, the resulting ashes might not always be exactly what or who you think they are. There are far better ways to remember your loved ones and I would like to think that the relative who is ultimately made into a diamond gave permission beforehand!
However, this is not as weird as having your loved ones' ashes mixed into ink and having it tattooed onto you! It's becoming more popular but the thought of it, erm, makes my skin crawl.
