Memorial Diamonds That Honour Our Loved Ones

Did you know your loved one can be forever eternalized in a diamond? This finished, precious stone can then be placed in a piece of jewelry to be worn close to your heart. It’s true, and it’s available through Algordanza™ Canada.

The Algordanza™ Swiss-created diamond process is accomplished by using a small amount of cremated remains or your loved one’s hair to create a truly personal remembrance gem. With this process, a high-heat, high-pressure procedure transforms the extracted carbon into a high-grade, certified diamond. Once the process is complete, the diamond (or diamonds) can be set in jewelry or kept in a display case. The keepsake options where these Memorial Diamonds can be set are endless.

Memorial jewelry has gained popularity in recent years and can be passed down for generations. Honouring a loved one by way of a unique memento or piece of jewelry is a modern choice that is now available to the families we serve.

For more information, please contact our funeral home.

What is Disenfranchised Grief?

Disenfranchised grief is a type of grief which involves a loss that is not deemed worthy of a grief response. It is one of the least talked about types of grief and is generally viewed by society as not deserving any attention.

There are many examples of disenfranchised grief, all of which have an impact on the griever contrary to what onlookers think they know. These include: the death of an absent family member, the loss of a friend, the loss of an ex, the loss of a pet, the loss of a same-sex partner, a miscarriage or an abortion.

Those who experience these types of loss may have significant challenges as they navigate their grief journey, all the while, their family and friends fail to acknowledge or understand the emotions that are being felt. These responses dismiss the relationship and the person’s feelings of sadness and sorrow.

When Nancy first read of her ex-husband’s death in the newspaper, she was totally unprepared for the feelings of sadness, pain, confusion and loneliness that would plague her. Despite since being happily remarried for the last twenty-five years, she still found this news left her numb. Her friends and her logic told her these emotions were crazy and not rational, and she should just get over it. Nancy chose to do the same as what many experiencing unacknowledged grief do. She withdrew from conversations and decided not to share her true feelings. She wondered if people were right and pondered if her sadness was weird.

When disenfranchised grief is experienced, it can result in behavioral changes for the griever, including withdrawal, change in eating habits, fatigue, irregular sleep patterns and self-medication. Buried emotions do not lead to better emotions.

It is important that as a society, we recognize when a family member or friend is experiencing grief, regardless of the circumstance. Grief is a response to a relationship that was shared and the amount of closeness, companionship and joy that was part of that relationship. The validity of this relationship should never be undervalued. By doing so, a disservice is being done to the griever.

Please Share: Petition (read below)
In a practice commonly referred to as obit scraping or obit piracy, third party websites are copying obit information from funeral home websites and adding modified death notices to their own platform. This practice is done without the family’s or funeral home’s approval.

Additionally, they are selling online memorial products and profiting from this practice.

A petition is underway to gauge public interest to see if this practice should be ceased. To indicate you wish current legislation changed to protect grieving families, please see the below link and sign: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-6997

The Canadian Virtual Memorial

Honouring close to 120,000 armed forces personnel, the Canadian Virtual War Memorial is an online registry dedicated to remembering the sacrifices of those who lost their lives in both world wars and other conflicts since Canadian confederation.

Each digital record has the name of the deceased, their military service, personal data, the location of their burial plot and digital files including photos, if available. This is a searchable database. Entering a surname, first name and initials will retrieve all registered personnel that match the criteria inputted. Note: RCMP officers who have been killed in the line of duty are also part of this record.

Another feature of this war memorial is that it connects to the Books of Remembrance and the daily honour roll. Each and every day of the year, the book of remembrance is opened that date, containing the inscribed names of all of our fallen who died on that date in history.

For more information on this memorial or to search for a family member who lost their life in combat, please visit: https://www.veterans.gc.ca/en/remembrance/memorials/canadian-virtual-war-memorial
