NORTHBROOK,IL— AmpliVox Sound EL PASO,TX— Grief wellness company, Eterneva, has an- nounced its partnership with Perches Funeral Homes. The announcement comes at the pivotal one-year anni- versary of the tragic shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, TX on August 3, 2019 in which 23 were killed. At the time, Perches Funeral Homes committed its resources to help- ing the families of the victims who died at the scene, of- fering free funeral services. This spring, the 23rd victim of the El Paso shooting died in the hospital, a father who jumped in front of his family to protect them when the shooting began. Together, Perches Funeral Homes and Eterneva gifted his widow a personalized grief journey and a new me- morial option to honor his remarkable life and the ulti- mate sacrifice. Memorial diamonds offer a unique option to those looking for a way to honor their loved ones and Eterneva strives to focus on remembering the way indi- viduals lived, rather than the way they died. The diamond was presented to the family of Guiller- mo “Memo” Garcia, the last victim of the deadly shoot- ing. After a nine month stay in the hospital following the heartbreaking event last summer, he passed away. Garcia was outside of the store with his family, while fundrais- ing for the El Paso Fusion Soccer Club, when the gun- man opened fire. His wife, Jessica, was also shot, but was released from the hospital. “As Texans, we were absolutely horrified to learn about the tragic event that took place in El Paso last summer. We are honored to be a part of Jessica and her family’s journey toward healing, even if our memorial diamond can only provide a small source of comfort in their tre- mendous loss,” said Adelle Archer, co-founder and CEO of Eterneva. “As a grief wellness organization, we know that a grief journey is not over after a funeral, and how important it is to keep someone’s story and legacy alive after they pass.” In addition, all victims of the shooting were remembered at a private memorial exhibition at The El Paso Museum of History. A virtual video of the exhibition was shared for the public and will be available year-round for the public to visit once the El Paso Museum of History reopens fol- lowing COVID-19. For more information on The El Paso Museum of History, visit http://history.elpasotexas.gov/. “This tragedy has created deep loss in our commu- nity. These people deserve to be remembered for who they were, not for the event that took them from us. For their families, this tragedy isn’t over. It is something they live with, and it is important for us all to con- tinue to say their names, tell their stories, and support their families in the years to come. We cannot imagine a better partner in helping us do that than Eterneva and the remarkable journey they’ve created for those griev- ing their loved ones,” said Sal Perches, owner of Perches Funeral Homes. Eterneva celebrates remarkable people and pets by turn- ing their ashes into diamonds. Eterneva has designed an intricate eight-month process to create these soulful re- membrances, which is a journey that is as special as the diamond and the person behind it. Customers personal- ize diamonds’ size, color, cut, and inscriptions, so they serve as meaningful connections to the loved ones behind it. From interactive video packaging to hand-written let- ters, to a courier service that hand-delivers the diamond, customers experience a level of thoughtfulness they’ve never seen before. Eterneva is based in Austin, TX, and was recently featured on Inc’s 30 under 30 list. To learn more, visit and hear from customers at Eterneva reviews, and follow Eterneva on Facebook.
