Designer Amanda Booth, 33, of Toronto, Canada, has a business making jewelry, aptly named Trinkets by Amanda. The first pieces were of clay, but then a friend contacted her and asked if she could make a jewelry set from her son's cremated ashes. Booth has "never said no to a friend," and the set inspired other customers--one who asked if she could use breast milk to make jewelry. She posted about the jewelry on Tiktok and business took off, including orders for items made with umbilical cords, placenta and hair.
"I am an open-minded artist, " Booth said.

Back in the olden days, some people were deathly afraid of Premature burial. That is, someone might be pronounced dead, but mistakenly so. In other words, they would be still alive but just unconscious. As a precaution, some people had a bell installed above the crypt. In case they revive consciousness inside their coffin, the person would yank at the Bell above, thereby alerting their family to their survival. I suppose those arrangements were mostly for rich people who could afford having their crypt stored in a mausoleum near their family's residence.
