seedling? Am I missing something. Hell, I can throw dad's ashes into the ground and plant a rose bush in there, but Dad won't be turned into a rosebush.

Not so green but I am thinking of making my husband into a nice diamond ring. I don't like jewelry much but I like the idea of having him with me all the time.

Then, I could use the rest to dump on the bushes.

Kidding, Kidding.

No really, I'd do the ring, keep the rest on the mantle til I die too, then have them spread somewhere together.

If I go first, it may go a little differently. lol
