Frequently Asked Questions

No, the size, shape, number, texture, color, etc., is determined by many factors that are out of our control. Each set of remains is unique to the individual.
No, but we recommend that you do. Solidified remains are not a product. They are a new form of remains. You can scatter the stones, keep them in a container, and share them just like “ashes.” That said, you can send a partial amount - a minimum of 1/4 cup. We do not offer discounts for partial amounts of remains.
No, we do not offer discounts for partial amounts of remains because we charge for the process, not the quantity. Our process is designed to solidify the full amount of remains.
From the time we receive the ashes, the solidification process takes 8 weeks. Depending on our volume of orders at a given time, we may have a wait time before we send a collection kit to retrieve your loved one’s remains for processing. Our priority is the safety of your loved one, and we will always prioritize this over speed.
We add a small amount of natural binder to the remains to help the stones solidify during our process.

A peaceful choice

When you're holding all your feelings and this option is presented to you for a loved one, I can't explain the amount of calm and peace I had when I realized this was possible. There's something very comforting about nature, trees, water, smooth stones. They can be held, they can be placed. They can be treasured forever and let go of all at once. I'm grateful this exists.

A Heartfelt Tribute to My Beloved Chewie

Losing my 17.5-year-old maltipoo, Chewie, was an incredibly difficult and emotional experience. Chewie was more than just a pet; he was the love of my life, a loyal companion, and a cherished member of our family. When it came time to decide how to memorialize him, I wanted something truly special, something that reflected the unique bond we shared.

That's when I discovered Parting Stone, and I'm forever grateful that I did. Parting Stone offered me a creative and beautiful way to honor Chewie's memory. Instead of the traditional option of receiving ashes in a box, I chose to have his remains transformed into stunning stones. It felt like the perfect way to celebrate his life and keep a part of him close to me.

From the moment I contacted Parting Stone, I was met with kindness, compassion, and professionalism. They guided me through the entire process, ensuring that everything was done with the utmost care and respect. The team at Parting Stone truly understands the depth of love we have for our pets, and their support was invaluable during this difficult time.

The resulting stones are nothing short of breathtaking. Each one is a unique and tangible representation of Chewie's essence, capturing his spirit in a way that a box of ashes never could. I now have these beautiful stones displayed in my home, and they bring me comfort and solace every day.

Parting Stone has not only provided me with a beautiful memorial for Chewie, but they've also helped me find a sense of closure and peace in my grieving process. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone who wants a truly meaningful and creative way to remember their beloved pet.

Thank you, Parting Stone, for your exceptional service and for helping me pay tribute to the love of my life, Chewie. You have made a difficult journey a little easier, and for that, I am forever grateful.

We lost my wife and our beloved shih-tzu in 12 months. We have them both re-united in a large silver flowered plate presiding our dining room joining me every day for lunch... those bright stones are alive playing around... no sadness!
