At Tharp Funeral Home, our mission has always been to guide families through grief with compassion, helping them discover meaningful ways to honor and remember their loved ones. That's why we're thrilled to announce our partnership with Eterneva—a pioneering company that transforms cremated ashes or hair into genuine, lab-grown memorial diamonds. This innovative service turns a profound loss into a radiant, enduring tribute that you can wear, hold, and cherish forever.

The Eterneva Journey: A Seven-Stage Path to Healing

Eterneva's process is more than just science—it's a thoughtful, seven-stage journey designed to involve you every step of the way. From the initial submission of ashes or hair, you'll receive regular monthly updates, including captivating videos showing the carbon purification and diamond growth. The result? A custom-cut, graded diamond, optionally color-treated to your preferences, and set into jewelry of your choice.

Imagine the comfort of holding a sparkling gem that encapsulates the very essence of someone dear to you. Remarkably, in many cases, Eterneva can create multiple diamonds from a single person's remains, allowing family members to each receive a personal keepsake. It's a beautiful way to keep connections alive across generations.

How It Works: Step by Step

Curious about the process? Here's a clear breakdown:

1. Submission and Welcome Kit: You'll receive a welcome kit from Eterneva and send in a small amount of ashes or hair—simple and secure.
2. Carbon Purification and Growth: In a state-of-the-art lab, the carbon is expertly purified and then grown into a raw diamond using high heat and pressure, mimicking nature's process in a controlled environment.
3. Cutting, Customization, and Setting: The diamond undergoes inspection, is precision-cut in Antwerp (the world's diamond capital), optionally enhanced with your chosen color, and finally set into the jewelry piece you select.
4. Homecoming: Your completed diamond—infused with profound meaning—returns to you, ready to be a part of your daily life.

This transparent, engaging approach not only demystifies the science but also provides emotional milestones along the way, turning grief into a story of celebration.

Why Choose a Memorial Diamond?

In a world where traditional memorials like urns or plaques offer solace, Eterneva diamonds provide something uniquely personal and portable. They're not just symbols—they're wearable legacies that sparkle with the light of the life lived. Whether set in a ring, pendant, or earrings, these diamonds become everyday reminders of love that never fades.
