Hello hondo23-ga,
Thank you for your question.
LifeGem Memorials is the name of the Company that takes human ashes
and makes it into diamonds.
An excerpt from a recent article dated August 21, on the MSNBC
Website:
“They say diamonds are forever. And now the dearly departed can be,
too. A Chicago company says it has developed a process for turning
cremated human remains into diamonds that can be worn as jewelry.(..)
The ash is first purified in a vacuum induction furnace at about 5,400
degrees Fahrenheit (3,000 degrees Celsius). It is then placed in a
press under intense pressure and heat, replicating the forces that
create a natural diamond. It takes about 16 weeks.”

What is a LifeGem?
“A LifeGem is a certified, high quality diamond created from the
carbon of your loved one as a memorial to their unique and wonderful
life.”

The process:
“Simply put, we have discovered how to capture the carbon that was
always present, and until now, lost during cremation. Once captured,
this carbon is placed in one of our unique diamond presses replicating
the awesome forces of nature – heat and pressure. A diamond that
takes millions of years to occur naturally can now be created from the
carbon of your loved one in a matter of weeks.”
