What Happens In Cremation
During cremation, a clean intense heat will quickly
return your pet to his or her basic elements. Your pet’s cremains
are returned to your home address, to your veterinarian or you can
send your pet's ashes to Eternal Gem to process the cremains into
a personal memorial tribute similar to that of a precious gemstone.
Meticulous and dignified, cremation allows for memorializing the
loving relationship between you and your pet by returning all of
your pet’s cremains which are specially packaged and sent
back to you. You may wish to consider scattering your pet’s
cremains, purchasing a traditional permanent urn or, you now have
the alternative of memorializing the precious life of your companion
animal in the form of an Eternal Gem.
Eternal Gem does not handle the cremation process. For a list of

What Exactly Are Cremated Remains?
“Ashes aren’t really ashes.”
Cremated remains are fragments of bone left over from the cremation
process. All tissue is consumed as well as most small bones but
the large bones are not always completely consumed and must be ground
up. This is what cremated remains are. It is sometimes a shock to
the uninformed person who opens a box of cremated remains and expects
to see fluffy ash.
The next step after cremation is memorialization– to create
a physical remembrance– to ensure the memory of a life will
remain forever. There are many ways to memorialize. (See our section
on memorialization).
The most common method is to place ashes inside a permanent urn
or to scatter the cremains over a favorite place.
Through our personal experiences– and our deep respect for
animals– we have created this particular memorialization option
for all pets. Creating an Eternal Gem from the cremains of your
beloved animal companion is the next step after the cremation process
in place of storing ashes in an urn on your mantel above the fireplace
or perhaps in a closet.
Our Eternal Gem tribute is a beautiful, meaningful way to honor
the life of your animal companion. With the Eternal Gem, memories
of your pet live on forever and can be touched, kept close to your
heart, held in your hand and shared with others.
