The After-Life in a Blue Diamond

You might ask what is the connection between the after-life and a blue diamond? The connection is immediately apparent if you are aware of the fact that there are organizations today that has the ability to transform human ashes or a collection of human hair into a memorable piece that takes the form of a blue diamond. Let’s face it. Given today’s high and fast-paced living, we always run the risk of not being so present and proactive in terms of rekindling our relationships, and this lack of time to connect includes our relationships with friends and loved ones who left the earth before us. When one dies, there are 2 major options on what to do with the body: bury it underground or have the body cremated.


Today, a lot of families go for cremation services because it is less time-consuming. Families and loved ones take a jar of the ashes with them and place it inside their homes so that they take with them a little piece of their dearly departed in their respective abodes. Not only are we left with the choice of having jars of human ashes to keep in our house, but we now have the option of transforming it into a piece of blue diamond.

We all know that diamonds are forever, and what more significant meaning than to have the ashes of our dearly departed in the form of a blue diamond. Indeed, diamonds transcend time and space, and blue diamonds are worth keeping because of its value and the significance it bears. Friends and families who were left behind can decide on the kind of cut the diamond will be such as an emerald cut, a heart, an oval, a princess or a radiant cut. A memorial diamond is a gem that anyone can bring with them wherever they decide to go. They can keep it in their bags, under their pillows or anywhere they wish to bring it with them. If one does not have the time to visit the cemetery or the columbarium, having a memorial blue diamond to commemorate the life of the loved one who passed away is a great way of doing it.

You might ask, how will you know that the human ashes or human hair used are authentically those of your dearly departed? Organizations such as Algordanza in Singapore conduct rigid chemical compositions first of the human ashes or human hair in order to arrive at a “chemical fingerprint” that clearly identifies to which body the ashes or hair belong to. Certificates are also provided in order to ensure the loved ones that the blue diamonds they are holding are made with the human ashes and hair of their dearly departed.

There will always be moments of longing for a loved one or a friend who already passed away, and it is a fact of life that we should all accept. At the end of the day, whether you opt to keep the ashes as is or decide to have the ashes made into a blue diamond is a decision that everyone will certainly respect.

Why Opt for Cremation Services

It might be too scary to ask anything fatalistic because humans are wired that way; why ask about death when we are still living? However, it is a fact of life that we a born into this world and we leave in a time that we cannot fully control and dictate. It has been said that it is better to be cremated or have our dearly departed cremated when their time to leave earth arrives. But why? Here are practical reasons why:

1. Low maintenance. It has been said that a cremation entails very little processes compared to burying the dead underground. A coffin can cost quite high especially if a certain type of wood or metal is preferred over another. However, with cremation services, the rate is fixed, and it is just a matter of depositing the body in a facility that does cremation services, and depending on the size and weight of the dead body, approximately 4 to 5 hours are all it takes to transform the dead body into ashes.


2. An intimate remembrance wherever you go. Taking the time to grieve can be a difficult process especially if there are little mementos to keep the spirit of the dearly departed alive as vibrant as possible. With human ashes safely stored in an urn or a tiny jar, loved ones and friends left on earth have something to look at as they reminisce all the wonderful memories they have with the person who just passed away. Grieving is a process different from one person to another, and it is quite universal that healing is faster if we have something literal and physical to hold on to.

3. Less travel time to commemorate with the dearly departed. Especially for families and friends who are constrained to travel long distances just to visit the cemetery, cremation saves people the time, effort and resources to be physically present with their dearly departed. With ashes to keep inside their homes or wherever they maybe, one need not drive long distances just to be reunited with the ones they love. Cremation is a practical choice that one should definitely consider.
