For a fond and dignified farewell
A Gem of a Way to Celebrate Your Pet's Life
15th December 2006
Leading pet crematorium, CPC has entered into a partnership with memorial diamond manufacturer LifeGem, and now provides bereaved pet owners with the chance of having an everlasting link to their late companions.
LifeGem produces beautiful diamonds from the carbon of pets’ ashes. The stones can be created from any pet, from a hamster to a horse. The company even made a special diamond for one bereaved owner from the combined ashes of three cherished pets.
“We decided to establish a working relationship with LifeGem for the benefit of any customers who would like this as a means of coping with the loss of a much loved pet,” comments Duncan Francis, commercial manager at CPC.
Experience shows that everyone deals with death and bereavement differently. For many people losing a pet can be as distressing as losing a close friend or family member because of the strong emotional attachment that’s involved.
“Having a stunning diamond created from the pet’s ashes and set into jewellery provides an everlasting link which some people find very comforting,” Duncan added. “This is certainly one of the most special ways to commemorate a pet’s life that we have come across and we wanted to inform our customers of this option as part of our fully comprehensive service.”
It is important that people remember the fond times they have shared with their pets. While a LifeGem diamond is not for everyone with prices starting at £2,100, it is a striking alternative to a memorial for the garden, bronze statue or painting.
David Hampson, at LifeGem says: “We understand the strong emotional bond that often forms between a human and their pet and we believe that our diamonds can provide an everlasting connection to a beloved companion animal. Many of our customers have found real comfort from the knowledge that they are that close to their much loved pet at all times. It’s the ultimate way of cherishing a beloved pet’s life.”
LifeGem diamonds are available in blue or yellow and from January 2007 white, red and green diamonds can also be purchased. They can be created in whatever size or cut a customer requests and they have the same fire, shine and hardness as natural diamonds and are classified by the same four C’s – carat, cut, colour and clarity. Completely confident of the quality of their diamonds, LifeGem offers an exclusive lifetime guarantee against any defects.
