To the ancient Egyptians it did. They believed they needed to preserve the body as it would be used again in the afterlife.
It did not really have a name. It was the mummification process.
Onions were used in ancient Egyptian mummification primarily for their preservative properties and symbolic significance. They were believed to have protective qualities and were often placed in the body cavities of mummies to help prevent decay. Additionally, the layers of an onion symbolized eternity, which resonated with the Egyptians' beliefs in the afterlife and the cycle of life and death.
Usually eternity rings are given later in a marraige when you are sort of reaffirming that you would do it again. 25 years is sort of a normal time. I have heard people say that it is the ring they WOULD have given if they could have afforded it when they were young. However, I think, if you can afford it, promising eternity is a cool thing. Sure ups the expectation of what the wedding ring will look like though. :o) Just remember that when you give a promise ring, engagement ring, wedding ring, it is considered a gift and doesnt' have to be returned if you break up.
"MUMMIFICATION"
The concept of "forever" in the Bible refers to an infinite and unending period of time. In Christian theology, this idea of eternity shapes the belief that those who have faith in God will have everlasting life with Him after death. This understanding of eternity emphasizes the eternal nature of God's love and the promise of salvation for believers.

The mummification process is not quite complete.
Oh honey, the Egyptians didn't remove the heart during mummification because they believed it was the center of a person's being, not just a blood-pumping machine. They wanted to keep that bad boy intact for the afterlife journey. Plus, who wants to deal with a squishy heart when you're trying to preserve a body for eternity? Not the Egyptians, that's for sure.
Mummification took 70 days in total.
No. The ancient Greeks believed in a completely different group of Gods then the ancient Egyptians. In Greek culture, the tradition was to sprinkle dust on the deceased and place a coin under their tongue for passage on the river Styx to get to the underworld. It was considered complete disrespect to the Gods if a family did not do this and the deceased's soul would not be allowed into the underworld and be left to wander around for all eternity.
