where would i be able to find the machines which cremates bodies into graphite?

Dear clamsisters-ga:

I was very interested in your question and wanted to know more about
it myself.

I assume, by the nature of your question, that you’d like to know
where such a machine is available or in business, and not where you
could buy one (unless of course you are independently wealthy). The
equipment you speak of is owned exclusively by the company mentioned
below which owns certain trade secrets that are undoubtedly well
guarded.

Graphite, the fundamental element needed for the production of
diamonds, can be created artificially under certain conditions with
the application of intense sustained heat. The human body, as with
most objects, will turn to graphite when subjected to such extremes.

Greg Herro, chief executive of the Chicago based company, LifeGem, has
spent three years perfecting the technique, with the help of Vice
President Dean VandenBiesen, of transforming graphite gleaned from
cremated human remains into diamonds. His claim is that he can produce
a “Tiffany” quality diamond out of a thimble full of graphite in about
16 weeks.  Prices for the gems range from $4,000 to $17,000 each
(which incidentally covers the cost of the shipment of the remains).
The family not only gets the finished gem but the remaining ashes as a
memento.

If I could I would provide you with contact information for LifeGem
but alas, Google Answers policy prohibits such promotion. You will
likely find that information in the linsk below.

I found this research very interesting and I hope it proves to be
useful to you.

Best regards;

when cremating a body, how long would you have to keep it into a
machine so that the bones are right to transform into graphite?

Dear clamsisters-ga:

Good question. I wondered that same thing myself. Unfortunately, as
you can see from the sources I provided, details regarding this
machine and the process by which is creates graphite and/or "diamonds"
are a well guarded secret.

Apparently the makers of the device envision this process not only as
a necessary need in the funeral industry but as somewhat of a money
machine as well. They are adamant about the secrecy surrounding the
process and they are not sharing what they know about it to anyone,
persumably to corner the "market", avoid reproduction and/or potential
competetion.
