Why traditional burials are facing the challenge?

Recently, it was proved that traditional burial pollutes the planet. As you can see from the real-time map, the humanity is doing really badly in terms of pollution, so we have to change something ASAP.

The main problem is that about half a billion people are going to die soon – there is simply no place for their caskets and graves. The Earth risks being overfilled. So, is there any wise solution?

To make it short, nowadays some companies turn human ashes to dust once the individual is dead. Perhaps, it is the only method to save the precious memories about our beloved ones instead of having a grave to cry by. From the first sight, this may seem a bit weird and even frightening. But if you take a closer look at these innovative technologies, you’ll understand that it is the best way out.

Now, let’s look at the scientific aspect. It might be interesting to know that our body includes 18% carbon and 3% Nitrogen.

1) To get memorial diamonds, you should realize they are all pure carbon.

2) The client sends human ashes to Switzerland to get their full examination.

3) Carbon is then retrieved and purified.

4) High-Pressure, High-Temperature (HPHT) technology is the key.

What is more exciting, the client may even choose the colour of the diamond. E.g., if you don’t want a naturally amber colour, the lab workers will make it blue by replacing Nitrogen.

Why people choose to turn ashes into diamonds

That’s a good question. The answer will prove that there is nothing immoral behind the idea.

The customers of LONITÉ, one of the most successful companies in the field of turning human ashes into diamonds, share that they simply wish to have memorial diamonds as far as:

  • They don’t want to feel lonely
  • They prefer a positive memory instead of the tragic one
  • They want to save some costs on funeral

Besides, it also depends on the culture. E.g., American citizens prefer mounting the cremation diamonds into rings and pendants. Those who have enough money can order whatever as the ashes to diamonds cost depends on the ordered volume only. Larger sizes have higher costs correspondingly.

One thing about cremation jewellery remains the same everywhere: people who order such products used to love their dead ones very much. That is why they need these memorial diamonds so heavy.
