Eterneva launches Dedication Pages to Encourage Storytelling of Lost Loved Ones AUSTIN,TX,— The grief wellness company, Eter- neva , announced their launch of Dedication Pages . Dedication Pages were cre- ated in order to give cus- tomers the opportunity to share important milestones during the diamond cre- ation process and easily present them through so- cial media platforms, email or text message. Eterne- va puts transparency and science at the forefront of their core beliefs, therefore updates on the diamond journey come in the form of videos and photos with a detailed description of what step each diamond is currently in. First seen on Shark Tank and backed by business mogul, Mark Cuban , Eter- neva takes pride in bring- ing those in the grieving process a piece of light and a community of support. Eterneva has not only cre- ated a unique legacy proj- ect for those who have lost someone close to their hearts, but have made it their mission to open con- versations surrounding death and remembrance. This grief-changing jour- ney gives customers a pos- itive outlet where every- one effected by one loss can come together to com- memorate their life in a completely new way. Rath- er than a one-time funeral service that is followed by a very isolating and lone- ly period of grief, Eterne- va has provided customers with a way to work through loss and celebrate life. “One of our core goals as a company has always been to help those griev- ing understand open com- munication is welcomed. We launched the Dedica- tion Pages in order for our customers to easily share updates during the cre- ation of their memorial di- amond and invite friends and family to be a part of that journey. The pur- pose of the page is to cap- ture who someone was as a person, what made them unique and special, and then tell the story of their diamond,” said co-founder and CEO, Adelle Archer . At the bottom of each page there is the ability to share pictures & sto- ries about each person, but Eterneva encourages peo- ple to share stories over condolences, because this is not a memorial page. It’s a celebration of a life well- lived. Eterneva is a consumer technology company and grief wellness brand that celebrates lives by mak- ing diamonds from ashes. Eterneva designed an in- tricate eight-month pro- cess to create these soulful remembrances, which is a journey that is as special as the diamond and the per- son behind it. Custom- ers personalize diamonds’ size, color, cut, and in- scriptions, so they serve as meaningful connections to their lost loved one. From interactive video packaging to hand-written letters, to a courier service that hand- delivers the diamond in a homecoming service, cus- tomers experience a level of thoughtfulness they’ve never seen before. Eterneva is based in Austin, TX, and was recently featured on Shark Tank, and on both Inc and Forbes’ 30 Un- der 30 lists.
