5 Reasons Why Memorial Diamonds Should Be Included in Your Final Wishes

Have you considered any of these about what happens after you pass away?

  •  How should your assets and finances be divided?

  •  What kind of funeral do you want?

  •  What should happen to your remains?

  •  How can you help your loved ones cope with the loss?

If you only care about the first point, you only need a will, but if you've given any thought to more than one of these, creating a 'final wishes' document is a good idea.

A "final wishes" document can serve as a detailed roadmap for your end-of-life preferences. It can include specific instructions regarding your funeral plan, burial options(for example, diamond burial), and any special requests or messages for your loved ones.

In life, we make countless decisions, but when it comes to our final moments, it’s the quiet, heartfelt choices that carry the most weight. It can be tough to think about, but taking a little time to plan can bring a lot of peace of mind to you and your loved ones.

 

Understanding final wishes

What are final wishes?

Your final wishes, also called last wishes or even an end-of-life plan, are all about outlining your preferences for what happens after you're gone.

Typically, final wishes focus on requests for your funeral, memorial service, or how you'd like your body to be handled. But they can extend much further. They can include heartfelt messages for loved ones or instructions for caring for your pets.

There's no one-size-fits-all approach here. While there are websites with templates to get you started, these documents aren't legally binding. They're yours to personalize, change as needed, and keep in a format that works for you. You can write it down, record yourself speaking, or even create a slideshow with pictures and music – the choice is entirely yours, and you can update it anytime.

These wishes can offer comfort and guidance to your family during a difficult time. Knowing your loved one's final wishes can bring peace of mind. It can make a tough time easier. By sharing your plans, you can save your family from stress and hard choices, and they can focus on healing and remembering the good times.

Do I need final wishes if I already have a will?

Yes.

A will primarily focuses on the legal aspects of your estate, such as who inherits your property and money.

Your final wishes delve into more personal and sentimental aspects of your life. These wishes can offer comfort and guidance to your family during a difficult time. 

Another key difference is timing. A will often take time to go through the probate process, which means it might not be ready in time to influence immediate decisions like funeral arrangements. 

Your final wishes can address these immediate concerns. By creating this document, you can ensure that your loved ones know your preferences and make the right decision on time.  So, even if you have a will, it's still a good idea to have final wishes.

Burial options are an important part of final wishes. Today, many people choose diamond burial instead of traditional burial, which is turning your ashes into a memorial diamond. This innovative process transforms the carbon from cremated remains into a stunning, real diamond.

 

The reasons why memorial diamonds should be included in final wishes

EverDear Memorial diamonds are one of the best diamond burial options. The process of creating a memorial diamond in EverDear is remarkable and combines science and artistry.

First, the cremation ashes or hair are carefully refined to extract pure carbon. This carbon is then subjected to extreme pressure and heat, similar to the conditions that create natural diamonds. Through a meticulous process, the carbon is transformed into a stunning diamond, a unique and lasting keepsake kept by your loved one.

Here are five reasons why memorial diamonds as a modern burial option should be included in your final wishes.

 

1. It brings healing and comfort to your loved ones

Losing a loved one is never easy, and the grieving process can be incredibly challenging for family members. It is a great comfort to loved ones if they can still feel the presence of the deceased. 

Throughout history, many cultures have cherished the tradition of keeping a part of the deceased with them - whether it’s a lock of hair, ashes, or other personal mementos - as a way to honor their memory and maintain a lasting connection. 

Memorial diamonds from ashes continue this meaningful tradition by providing a unique source of comfort, allowing your family to keep a part of you with them always. Though your physical form may be gone, the echoes of your love will forever resonate in their lives in the diamonds.

2. You will become an everlasting legacy in the most beautiful way.

Instead of being buried underground, transforming your ashes into a diamond offers the most elegant and beautiful way to memorialize yourself. 

Diamonds are renowned for their breathtaking beauty, a result of their exceptional brilliance and fire. Their ability to refract and disperse light creates a mesmerizing display of colors. 

A diamond is not only a timeless symbol of beaut, it is also famous for extreme hardness and enduring durability. Memorial diamonds from ashes capture these qualities, ensuring your memory shines brightly forever. 

Unlike other memorial options that might fade or wear down over time, memorial diamonds are known for their lasting brilliance and durability. This enduring beauty means your loved ones will always have a beautiful reminder of you, one that sparkles just as brightly as the cherished memories they hold. 

 

3. It is a wearable remembrance of your family 

If you choose a traditional burial, you will be buried in a cemetery, and your family will not usually visit you every day. Most people tend to visit a loved one's burial site on special occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays. 

Even if you are cremated and placed in an urn at home, the urn cannot be carried on a daily basis.

Unlike urns that stay in one place or cemeteries that are visited only occasionally, EverDear memorial diamond jewelry offers the unique advantage of being wearable daily.

With a pendant, your family can keep you close to their heart; with a ring, they can hold your memory at their fingertips; with a bracelet, they can wear your strength on their wrist; and with a locket containing a photo, they can hold your smile close.

EverDear offers a variety of wearable memorial diamond lockets. The lids are adorned with memorial diamonds created from cremated remains. Inside, you can store photos of loved ones and add a personalized engraved message

With memorial diamond jewelry, your loved ones can carry your memory with them everywhere they go, visit the places you once cherished together, embark on new adventures to destinations you dreamed of, and share in all their future milestones. 

Your presence will be felt in every moment. The memorial jewelry can provide ongoing comfort to your family and a sense of connection between your family and you.

5. It is a way to memorize without financial stress

The costs associated with cremation and burial can be surprisingly high. Even after cremation, the expenses of interring ashes in a cemetery can be substantial. 

A private plot often begins at $1,000. In some areas, especially in major cities, costs can soar as high as $25,000. 

Urns can also add significantly to the overall cost. A basic cremation urn can be purchased for around $50, but more ornate and expensive options can cost hundreds of dollars. 

Additional expenses may include personalized headstones, burial fees, and ongoing maintenance costs. When all costs are considered, the total expense of burying cremated remains can range from $1,500 to $30,000 or more.

In comparison, Memorial diamonds are a cost-effective burial option that does not add burden to the family. You can have a meaningful diamond burial while also providing your family with a cherished keepsake.  At EverDear, we offer the most affordable prices on the market, with memorial diamonds starting at just $895.
