A new form of remains

Our service solidifies 100% of the ash into remains that resemble a collection of 40-80+ smooth stones.

Keep your departed close

Our loved ones deserve better than to be forgotten in a closet. With solidified remains, that never has to happen again.

Empower your family

Share your loved one’s stones so everyone can remember in a way that is meaningful to them.

I've had my mother’s ashes for over a decade. I kept them in my clothing closet. They didn't make me feel warm or sentimental. Getting these has been transformative.
Garth Clark

It’s more sentimental to have an object than it is to have ashes. In the stone form, it’s an easier way to carry somebody with you without so much weight and stigma.
Trevor Bahnson

I had no idea what I was going to do with his ashes... it’s a messy business. Once they came back as these beautiful stones, I love holding them and showing them to people.

Letters from families

Thank you for making the stones. I like how smooth they are. It helps me remember my grandma. Love Lauren

“I received my brother, Chad, back home today. . . I have multiple sclerosis and I am blind. When I picked up the stone . . . I sobbed and held [it] tight. It felt so beautiful and reminded me, that although my brother had his addictions, he was my angel. . . . Thank you for taking such good care of him and making his memory to me so powerful and beautiful. . . . Your work is profound. From my heart -Cheri”

My family and I loved that we were offered the option of Parting Stones in place of ashes. We have all decided that our beloved husband, father, and “papaya” (as his granddaughters called him) will be placed in all his favorite places. Thank you so much for allowing us this option… and to keep a part of him close to us always.

Hi Nicholas,
I wanted to thank you for your wonderful work in creating the beautiful stones that are my husband. He was born and raised in Sweden, so this summer I traveled to Sweden with many stones to be given to his brothers.
Other stones went to family in California and Delaware; so you can see the impact of your work traveled far and wide.
Most importantly, I carry a perfect stone with me, so I feel he is still a part of me. Thank you!!
Diane

Nikki, thank you so much for all that you do. Without these Stones I don't know where I would be mentally. They give me so much peace. I have one around my neck everyday. He is with me. I can hold one in my hands and feel him. Thank you Again Ray

Jef, Thank you so much for the beautiful Stones.They are a Wonderful reminder of a life well lived and loved. My honey passed 11-30-21 and these are a very tangible piece of him I can hold or carry around with me. Everyone I know has been told of this gift. Thank you again for giving me peace and comfort. God Bless the WORK you do.

Sad but glad

Sad is an understatement regarding my son’s sudden death, but I was glad that the option provided by Parting Stone was available. It helped all of his immediate family to have that option.

A better way to never say goodbye.

My husband was the patriarch of a very loving family. Everyone has a parting stone. I recently received a picture of my great granddaughter, aged 2, holding pap-pap’s stone. It’s like he is still with us.

A comforting symbol.

It’s hard to find words describing the value of such a personal remembrance. My husband is with me in the form of 51 smooth, beautiful stones. It’s a great comfort.
