When your beloved pets or loved ones die, it's scientifically possible to turn them into diamonds that you wear around your neck as a form of remembrance. This type of diamond is called memorial diamond. And there are companies that will help you make it possible. 

But the question is: can you really turn a dead human being or animal to a diamond? 

YES! 

How? 

To know the how, we must understand what makes a diamond.  

Diamonds are just a collection of carbon atoms that have been arranged in a tightly fitted crystalline style.

Just press a graphite or coal, with enough pressure and at high enough temperature, then the carbon atoms in them will be forced into this tightly-fitted patterns. 

Boom! You already about to have a real diamond. 

Just like the coal and graphite, biological tissues too can be turned into a diamond. Biological creatures are composed primarily of water and carbon-based molecules. 3 elements you find in abundance in all biological tissue are: hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon. 

So, to turn a dead animal or human to a diamond, all hydrogen and oxygen atoms are removed from the body, leaving the tissues left with only carbon atoms. 

The carbon atoms are filtered more and more till they are completely pure. 

Once they are pure, they are arranged in a tightly fitted crystalline style to become a real diamond. 

Turning a deceased animal or family into a diamond cost nothing less than $3,000. That amount can rise to the tune of $50,000 depending on the size you want
