We also inaugurate each one of our loved ones on social media (with permission) to make sure that our entire team and, eventually, the world knows about this remarkable life.

We do everything we can to fight against the second death (when someone’s name is said for the last time), and help our customers do tribute videos, plan homecoming parties for the diamond, launch legacy projects and so much more.

Yes, there is more than enough carbon in ashes to grow a diamond. We work closely with TDI Brooks International, a world-renowned carbon testing and forensic organization, to test the carbon contents in cremated remains, hair, and aquamation ashes.

The cremated remains sample contained 3.28% carbon, the hair sample to contained 36.66% carbon, and the aquamation sample to contained 16.91% carbon. As an additional step for any customer who wants it, we will send their loved one’s ashes to TDI Brooks’s analytical chemistry lab for testing to determine the carbon contents at no additional cost.

It takes only 2-6 weeks for a cremation diamond, also known as a memorial diamond, to grow. However, the growing stage of the diamond is only one of seven steps to a finished memorial diamond. In total, the entire process takes 7-10 months depending on the carat size, cut and color desired.

Surprisingly, no. We can extract multiple grams of carbon from only 1/2 a cup of ashes or a healthy handful of hair, and we only need one gram of carbon to grow a diamond.

We always extract extra carbon from ashes and store it securely onsite with your permission, so if ever you want to have additional diamonds made or lose your diamond, we can grow you another one. We encourage you to add your loved one’s diamond to your homeowner’s insurance policy so that insurance will pay for the full replacement cost.
