LifeGem ^® .  About Us.

LifeGem was formed in 2001 after completing over three years of intense research to create the most unique memorial product ever invented, the LifeGem. The patent pending LifeGem is a certified, high-quality diamond created from the carbon of a loved one as a memorial to their unique life.  With the LifeGem, we seek to fulfill the growing need in the today’s funeral services industry of providing families with a more individualized and personalized approach to memorializing their loved ones.

In creating the LifeGem, we brought together some of the world’s most brilliant minds, spanning three continents and multiple countries.  After all, the desire for a higher quality, more personalized memorial is worldwide.  Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the LifeGem is currently available worldwide through our growing number of highly trained funeral home business partners, or direct by contacting us at 866-LIFEGEM (543-3436).

LifeGem has had an incredible impact on today's funeral service providers.  Although steadily growing, this virtually unchanging industry was in need of a better way to provide for families’ distinct and individual needs.  More families believe the deceased should be honored and remembered but feel that the survivors' experience is equally important.

We are providing a positive resolution to these family needs in light of the exchange of traditional burial and memorial customs for unique and highly personalized approaches, and the quickly rising nationwide and worldwide cremation rates.

Due to our innate desire to honor our loved ones in unique ways, families are generally unsatisfied with standard and ordinary memorials.  Their loved ones have led unique, brilliant, and wonderful lives and should receive nothing less in passing.  These families find it difficult to pay an appropriate level of respect to their loved ones with commonplace memorials and desire a better solution.  We have created that solution, the LifeGem diamond.

Our overall mission is to ease the grieving process by offering a memorial product of ultimate individuality, beauty, and comfort.

Brothers Dean and Rusty VandenBiesen and Greg and Mike Herro along with dozens of employees around the world are committed to creating high quality memorial diamonds from the carbon of a loved one and providing the service that your clients expect and deserve.
