Parting Stone Gallery

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 I love showing them to people.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many "stones" is a human?

There is about a 1:1 ratio of ash to solidified remains. For example, if we receive 6 cups of ash, we will return roughly 6 cups of "stones". An average full set of human remains typically yields 40-80 stones ranging in diameter from about the size of a quarter to about 3” around.

Can I get a specific number of solidified remains?

No, the solidification process varies from person-to-person in the number, shape, color, and size of "stones" produced.

How long does the solidification process take?

The solidification process typically takes 6 weeks from when we receive the ashes at our lab. At times, we have a waitlist of orders and you will be notified of the current wait time before checking out on our website. Our priority is to successfully return beautiful "stones" to each customer and sometimes that takes extra time.

Do you accept alkaline hydrolysis remains?

We are proudly in the early stages of accepting and processing alkaline hydrolysis remains into solidified remains. If you are interested in sending alkaline hydrolysis remains for solidification, please contact our Customer Support team.

What is involved in the solidification process?

The entire solidification process looks like making ceramics in a laboratory. Once the remains arrive at our lab, we remove contaminants and refine the ash then create a clay-like material. From there, we form, solidify in a kiln, and polish the "stones" before returning them to you. You can see a fun animation of the whole process on our homepage here.

Can I scatter the solidified remains?

Yes. Solidified remains act like real stones so if you keep them outside or scatter, they will be there a long time.
