A rock is humble, a diamond is unrealistic

[@Gojiwa]

You wouldn't want to scatter diamond away. Hence, there will be too many dead people on your pocket. While in rock, you can scatter them away anytime just like ashes

[@robinlinh]

@@Gojiwa I feel like when you choose to turn your passed love one to diamond, you probably don't intend to scatter them. It's to make them eternal and keep them, like some people keeping an urn.

Apparently Justin listened to the Sharks by upping prices by over 2x. On this episode he said $995 for a human, but it’s now $2,500 on their website (and pets went from $500 to $1,000).

[@richardgonzales3562]

Was a smart move. Coffins aren't cheap and urns look tragic and heaven forbid someone knocks it over and you have to vacuum up gramps! $2,500 is not a lot when you consider the costs and issues with other options.

Not at all. Easy fix to be profitable just like they all raise prices. Double the price and that 800k loss with 1.5 mil sales turns into a 700k net profit with 3.5 mil sales. And if you look on their website they did just that. Not costs 2500$ for humans.

[@karollee13]

I have my parents' ashes in my home. I'm so grateful to find this service. I tried to take a tiny bit of their ashes to Maui but the airlines said I had to put it in a baggie, not the miniature urn I wanted to use, to send it through the scanner at the airport. I couldn't put it in my checked bag. What a hassle and a mess to open the urns and transfer some of the ashes. A plastic bag for their ashes seems such a humiliating end to a person's life. Stones are somehow a more comforting and loving tribute. 😢

This guy has a genius idea and bringing in 55 investors is absolutely crazy. I guarantee one thing is that all those 55 investors have morenof a share of his company than he does and what's gonna happen is I think he showed up on shark tank in a desperation move and why I say that is because.......after losing over 1 million dollars he will have to sell-off more of his company to make up the difference and that's were he is screwed.

They needed to see the real product.

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

I was surprised at first thinking he would make a mock up, but actually, I think it's kind of nice that he brought his gramp's stones. I think it's an important part of the whole idea - you can't really interact with a bunch of ashes, but once they are stones, they can be really held. If people believe that he's more likely to be there in spirit because his stones are there. then it can be a positive thing that they are his stones. I wouldn't get white though - might be too easily stained.

@@Truthorfib I don't know, I sell hardwoods and people come to buy wood for making urns quite often. Seems to be something people have done quite a bit. Also, many people who do get cremated ask to have their ashes spread over certain places.

[@katlis]

I think it's like a 50/50 thing where people who want to be cremated either want to be in an urn on a mantlepiece or dumped out somewhere. My elderly father has asked me, when his time comes, his ashes to be spread in his favorite lake. Maybe I'll pitch this idea to him, so he can be in that same lake, but in the form of skipping stones where my brother and I can see who skips the ash stones the furthest (he loves dark humor).
