ATLANTA GA - Pet Dreams Memorial Memorial Center Partners with LifeGem to Provide Diamond Memorials

    /24-7PressRelease/ - KENNESAW, GA, March 06, 2008 - This partnership marks the availability of the LifeGem in Suburban Atlanta, GA (Kennesaw GA.) Customers can work with local, certified partners to get answers to questions; make pre-need arrangements; begin the creation process from existing cremains, as well as requesting a LifeGem at their time of need. For those unfamiliar with a product that has received international attention, the LifeGem is a certified, high-quality colored diamond created from the carbon of a loved one to serve as a memorial to their life. LifeGem Memorials has spent more than five years researching and developing the patent-pending process of tracking, collecting and purifying carbon from cremated remains or a lock of hair in order to create a very personalized memorial diamond.

"Pet Dreams Memorial Center is proud to offer the LifeGem to its customers," said Kevin Marcy. "We have built a solid reputation in this community for our ability to help people through their loss and feel the LifeGem is a natural extension of our work with families and friends."

Ranging from one-quarter to one carat, the LifeGem is certified by the world's foremost gemologists trained by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). LifeGem diamonds are now produced in fancy yellow, blue, green, red and colorless.

"For two thousand years, grieving families have had two primary options—burial and cremation—to commemorate the life of the deceased and find solace through the grieving process," said Greg Herro, chief executive officer of LifeGem Memorials. "Now, as the third option, the LifeGem serves as an everlasting connection and celebration of their loved ones unique and meaningful life."

With cremations on the rise, the LifeGem will play an increasingly important role in the grieving and recovery process. According to the Cremation Association of North America, the number of cremations in the United States has tripled since 1973 to more than 700,000 in 2000.

Pet Dreams Memorial Center is a funeral home and cremation service dedicated to pets and their grieving families. For more information, please contact us at (866)236-1388, 678-594-0041, [email protected] or view our website at www.petdreamsmemorial.com
