innovation.

the company aims to create specialized life Gem with "the ashes of your loved ones a precious memory of a unique and precious life"

Founded in 2001, this company also offers its services in Europe has tripled its sales since its inception and expects to double next year.

The ashes of a human body can produce a score of diamonds and there are still plenty of ash if you want to leave them a good coat above the fireplace in your home.

However, precise Dean Van den Biesen, vice president of Company, so far no one has asked more than 11 diamonds.

The procedure involves removing carbon(material needed to make a diamond) from the ashes. A diamond can press in a few weeks then create a rough diamond, replacing a process that  nature can take millions of years.

Soon the rough diamond is cut and polished in almost every way imaginable. 

Prices range from $ 2,700 for a 0.25 carat diamond for $ 20,000 for a diamond of 1.25 carats. 

"You are not allowed to everyone," says Van den Biesen, but says that "for those who have chosen to immortalize a loved one in a jewel, is an extremely positive experience." Leather jacket and boots of a typical motorcycle lover, with a skull bandana tied on his head, Jeff Barreto, is an undertaker of the 'new wave'. 

In the lounge Funeral Directors annual meeting in October in Chicago (north), proposed the use of a new generation of funeral urns: the tank of a Harley-Davidson. 

"You can slide a very large type in there" he explained, as if it were before a potential customer.And says its modern ballot box is specially designed to fit the seat of a motorcycle "if you are eager to take his friend to ride." 

For now, the urn Harley-Davidson, which sells for $ 1,350, has had little success, but Barrett is convinced that success is a matter of time.
