We’re flipping the script on a pragmatic experience: a person you love will die, is dying, or has died. What are you going to do? These experiences are just as life-changing as a birth. They define us. They transform us. And we think it’s time we talk about them without stigma so that we can honor the lives of those we love and share their stories to inspire our days.

We don’t know what to say, how to say, etc. As a result, so many of us end up quiet –– avoiding the elephant in the room. Cremation diamonds help to change that, putting a bright and beautiful memorial front and center.
Grief is as old as humanity, and yet, so much about the emotion remains a mystery to us.
Data shows that 80% of Americans say they want to die at home, but only 20% do. Many think a stigma around even having the conversation with friends or family about what they would want is a huge miss.
