Judging from the numbers mentioned in the article, no more cash would be required than for the traditional embalming/casket/funeral/burial-in-a-cemetary-plot treatment most of the departed are accorded ... I've never thought that burial, cremation or any other means of being "dealt with" after death sounded particularly attractive ... but I'll be damned if I don't think the idea of being turned into a diamond sounds sort of interesting ... judging from what I learned in the article, I could be turned into quite a few diamonds too ... maybe I could auction off some of them on e-bay ... give one each to a number of friends and relatives ... who knows what other possibilities I might think of ... hmmmmmmmm
