PLEASE without being graphic, but where does everything go? Ashes are just the carbon that you contained? I don’t know what else makes us up, but must be released into the atmosphere or something no?
I’m a big fan of Neil Degrass Tyson’s videos, and learning about the universe is basically my substitute for religion. My sister died yesterday after a battle with cancer. And being the sciencey astro nerd of an uncle, I need a little better understanding of what makes us up, to explain what remains to get used again. To her 16 yo daughter who isn’t particularly religious either, but is obviously in a pretty sensitive state, as am I. Looking for comfort.

There are a few organizations that will take some of the carbon left and use it to seed an artificial diamond. Although this might be a pet service only.
