In 2013, actress Angelina Jolie had her breasts preemptively removed because she inherited defective genes. Her decision was based on a positive result from genetic testing, and the media coverage of her story triggered the "Angelina Jolie effect".

The DNA Preservation program stores your genetic heritage. DNA banking is the secure preservation and long-term storage of an individual's genetic material. Banked DNA will remain intact for potential future use.

DNA contains valuable information about a family's health risks, medical conditions and ancestry.

By preserving DNA, you are ensuring that this precious information is readily accessible to future generations.

With the rapid advances being made in genetic testing, genetics will play an increasingly important role in understanding a family's disease risks, allowing families to be proactive in managing their health.

DNA can be used for a wide range of genetic testing applications including disease testing, health risk analysis, identity testing and ancestry testing. With rapid advances in genetic testing technology, the number of diseases that can be identified through genetic testing is steadily increasing.

The program is simple and is available to everyone living or newly deceased.

• Order the test kit
• Collect and send the sample
• Receive your results in 14 days. You will receive a permanent gene storage capsule which can be safely stored at room temperature.

Price: Starting at $389.

It can be a confusing and stressful process when deciding what to do with the cremated remains of a loved one. The Heart in Diamond program is a new and exciting solution to this problem.

Using carbon-based manufactured diamonds the program is now available in New Brunswick.

The patented-exclusive process makes diamonds from a small amount of cremated remains or a lock of hair at a fraction of the market price of traditional diamonds, while also taking far less time.

The goal is to produce wearable stones that can be part of a ring, necklace or simply as a standalone piece. This provides a stunning permanent memory that can be used in any way you would like.

By turning a fraction of remains into a diamond, the doors of opportunity are opened to share multiple pieces with friends and family.

Price: Starting at $750 US

TributeArt by Wyland is collaboration between one of the world's most renowned marine artists and the memorial services industry. The stunning collection is comprised of bronze sculpture urns that serve as pieces of fine art meant to memorialize loved ones who have passed.

Moving away from the traditional urn, Wyland's line Tribute Art includes handcrafted pieces made to house cremated remains, flower petals or other mementos that the family wishes to keep.

Bronze is resistant to corrosion and is harder than iron, meaning that your piece will last.

Wyland's art removes itself from the commemoration of death and provides a beautiful, lasting reminder of life.

There are many different models, ranging in size to best fit your needs. Wyland himself has long been concerned with marine life conservation and these pieces reflect that passion.

Tribute Art is a truly breathtaking way to memorialize a loved one. These exceptional pieces will be marketed exclusively across North America through Brunswick News and other selected FrontRunner clients and partners.
