Algordanza Launches Pre-Death Contracts for Memorial Diamonds to Address Grave Issues

The Introduction of Pre-Death Contracts for Diamonds by Algordanza

In a remarkable milestone in the funeral industry, Algordanza Japan, the Japanese branch of the Swiss company specializing in memorial diamonds, has announced the launch of its Pre-Death Contract Plan as part of the celebration of its 20th anniversary. This innovative service allows individuals to make clear their wishes during their lifetime, enabling them to leave behind a memorial diamond created from their ashes or hair for their loved ones.

Overview of the Pre-Death Contract Plan

The Algordanza Pre-Death Contract Plan represents a fresh alternative for individuals grappling with traditional grave site issues. Its main features can be summarized in three key points:

1. Alternative to Grave Maintenance: The plan eliminates the burdens associated with maintaining a grave, allowing loved ones to memorialize their deceased relatives without the typical family obligations of grave upkeep. Additionally, couples can choose to have a single diamond created together.

2. Price Assurance: The cost of the service is locked in at the time of contract signing, protecting clients from future price increases due to inflation or market changes.

3. Safe Management: All funds are secured in an independent Swiss trust account managed by Algordanza Vorsorge GmbH, safeguarding the money against bankruptcy or mismanagement risks. After a client's passing, their heirs can alert the company to proceed safely with the creation and delivery of the diamond.

The Need for Such a Service

In recent years, declining birth rates and an aging population have intensified issues surrounding grave maintenance, prompting many to seek alternative memorial solutions. As the number of people unable to maintain existing graves rises, other options such as sea burials and tree burials are becoming increasingly popular. Algordanza, established in 2004, has successfully expanded its reach to over 30 countries, providing families with memorial diamonds curated from the remains of their loved ones.

The Japanese branch, the fifth global partner, has served as the leading provider of memorial diamonds in Asia, catering to numerous requests from individuals wishing to secure their own arrangements while alive. The introduction of the pre-death contract plan is an answer to those who have expressed interest in preparing for their eventual passing.

The Process of the Pre-Death Contract

The steps involved in the pre-death contracting process are as follows:
1. Initial consultation regarding diamond size, quantity, recipients, etc.
2. Signing the contract.
3. Payment of production fees to the Swiss trust account.

During the sequence of events after the client’s passing:

- The recipient will notify Algordanza to arrange for the collection of ashes.
- The company proceeds to craft the diamond and delivers it to the recipient.

Insights from the Company Leadership

Masaki Hōzuki, the CEO of Algordanza Japan, stated, "Since our founding in 2004, we have been dedicated to supporting families through memorial diamonds. With the ongoing trends of an aging population and nuclear families, many individuals are considering options that do not involve having a traditional grave. Our pre-death contract allows people to leave behind a diamond as a form of rebirth, connecting their legacy to future generations. We view our diamonds as the ultimate keepsakes, preserving the thoughts and memories of the departed for years to come."

As the company celebrates its 20-year milestone, it emphasizes the importance of redefining memorialization methods and ensuring a bridge between the deceased's wishes and their families' desires.

Future Appearances

Algordanza Japan will showcase its new service at the Ending Industry Exhibition 2025, set to take place on September 10-11, 2025, at the Ariake GYM-EX. Attendees can find detailed information on the business model and benefits for enterprises at booth E-19. The company encourages interested parties to visit their official website for more details.
