Here are the detailed instructions for completing your order form and sending in to our office in Chicago, Illinois.

Make sure to add all of your contact information   This information keeps you updated as the LifeGem creation process advances. All of your loved one’s information is necessary for your unique identifier.

Select your unique LifeGem diamond(s)   Select the size, cut, and color of each LifeGem. Each LifeGem diamond is inscribed with a unique identifier attributed to your family. Optionally, we can add your personalized message. The first 25 letters are $75 and each letter thereafter is only $3.

Sign and date the order form    Complete the payment information section, sign and date the authorization line. Only a 50% deposit is required.

Prepare your order for shipping   Request our EASY shipping kit for everything you need to return your order securely to our office. When sending ashes, separate out NO MORE THAN 8 ounces (about 1 cup) and tightly secure in the plastic container. Do NOT send all of the ashes. If sending a lock of hair, we need only the amount collected during a routine haircut. If you have less, either option may still apply. Questions? 866-543-3436.

Send your package to LifeGem   Place the sealed container of the ashes and/or hair in the shipping box along with the completed and signed order form. Send via REGISTERED U.S. MAIL to: LifeGem (Attn: Orders), 836 Arlington Heights Rd. #311, Elk Grove Village, IL 60007

Then what happens?   We immediately assign your unique tracking number to ensure traceability through every step of our process. You will receive a confirmation letter with this tracking number, your username and temporary password. You will be notified via email as your loved one’s carbon proceeds through our process. Upon completion, we will set up your secure delivery date.

Just thinking about Gerry's diamond gives me a warm feeling; it's almost as though he's going to be coming home again. It's hard to explain - but it's a nice feeling, and thanks to you and LifeGem, I'm   (more...)
