How Important Is Memorialization?

We care about animals and the people who have grown to love them. If you have just experienced the loss of your pet, we are here to help. Each of us at Eternal Gem has also experienced the loss of a devoted animal companion. It is because of our personal experiences- and our deep respect for animals- that we have created this particular memorialization option for all pets.

Our pets add so much to our lives. When they die, letting them go can be a difficult and emotionally vulnerable time.

Memorialization creates a physical remembrance that insures the memory of a life that was lived will always remain.

Some memorial acts of remembrance that are common: take pictures, write a tribute, hold a ceremony, make a drawing or sculpture, take clay paw prints, keep toys and tags, plant a tree, make a plaque, donate to a meaningful charity.

There are alternative methods: placing ashes in urns, launching ashes into space, scattering ashes out of airplanes or hot air balloons, shooting out of shotgun shells, incorporating into the paint of portraits, mixing ashes with concrete and placing the objects in artificial reefs, placing ashes in a person's favorite objects.

Why Do We Do These Things?

Those suffering a loss often wish to memorialize the body- seek ways that are significant on a highly personal level. There are many who wish to keep cremated remains close at hand.

Urns are the most typical of containers for ashes. They are primarily wood or ceramic and available in many price ranges, followed by synthetic marble and even bronze. They can be engraved or equipped with a picture frame in order to add personalization. The urns are placed for display or kept for private viewing. Cremated remains may also be placed in lockets and worn as jewelry.

Eternal Gem has created an additional step after the cremation process and offers a superior alternative to traditional cremation urns or other memorial products. It is the ultimate in personalized memorialization and just like our pets, no two are the same. With an Eternal Gem, your loving pet will always be close to you.
