Iconoculture: Some Boomers are opting for final resting places that are groundbreaking, to say the least. Deep sea and deep space are two final destinations that are increasingly popular.
Eternal Reefs mixes cremains into a concrete "reef ball" which is dropped into the ocean and seeded for ecosystem development.
LifeGem reduces ashes to carbon, which are then heated and compressed into a diamond for individuals who want to be a family heirloom.
The Eternal Ascent Society sends ashes up in helium balloons, while Space Services arranges for remains to go into orbit or into deep space. Beginning in 2010, Space Services will even arrange for a burial on the moon.
As if they'd have it any other way! Boomers are reinventing as they go, and in this case, as they pass. Further deflecting "aging" stereotypes, Boomers are inventing novel ways to say goodbye.
They may act like they'll live forever, but Boomers reaching that final lifestage can be expected to do it with creative panache.
Boomers personalize the afterlife for themselves, loved ones [Iconoculture]
