Memorial diamonds are a relatively new method of burial, emerging only in the early 2000s. This unique yet incipient burial method has been surrounded by scepticism and doubt since day one. In this post, we will be discussing the viability and legitimacy of memorial diamonds.
Currently, the traditional and most common burial methods are burial and cremation. However, with the rise of technology, cremated ashes can be turned into a Memorial Diamond, that can be made into different accessories. Compared to traditional burial methods, memorial diamonds are a beautiful way to preserve the memories of a lost loved one – by turning their ashes into a memorial diamond. Apart from memorial diamonds, similar services are also available, ranging from turning ashes to crystals and glass balls, which can be turned into hanging ornaments. With so many new options available, most of the bereaved are unsure of which to service to go for or may already have some idea of what they want, but may still have certain reservations that are holding them back from making their decision.

Whichever service you choose, the most important thing is to choose the “right” service, by “right” I mean the service that suits you the most, the one that “calls to your heart” and more importantly choosing the right company. The right company, is one that is reliable, handles the ashes with the utmost care and respect, and most importantly the company should provide you with the verifications / certifications of the product to prove that it is really made with the ashes of your loved one. One way to ensure the legitimacy of the service provider is to inquire on their processes and properly understand the laboratory process that the ashes go through before becoming the final product. A certain degree of research has to be conducted by the bereaved, however, it is necessary in order to ensure that the company you plan on commissioning is legitimate and reliable.

In this ever progressing world, technology has touched and improved every aspect of our lives. Similarly, when it comes to burial methods, technology has opened many doors for us, one of which being a diamond burial. As ‘new age’ as a diamond burial may sound, it is still very inline much with the traditions and beliefs of the Chinese people. The traditional Chinese belief of having the deceased buried close to their native place of residence, is respected, where by a memorial diamond once received can be brought anywhere in the world the bereaved may want.
Many client also go for two different burial methods. As Algordanza only requires 500g of ashes after cremation, clients can commission a memorial diamond and lay the remaining ashes to rest at a columbarium.
