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 dog?
About 5-35 stones depending on breed and size. A medium breed, such as a heeler, could be 15-20 solidified remains.
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 10 weeks from when we receive the
ashes at our lab. Depending on our backlog of orders, there is sometimes a processing time wait
period before we send the collection kit to retrieve your cremated remains. We will tell you the
current processing time before you checkout. Our priority is to successfully return beautiful
"stones" to each customer and sometimes that takes extra time.
Do you accept alkaline hydrolysis remains?
At this time we do not offer the solidification process for remains resulting from alkaline hydrolysis.
We are working on perfecting this process, and we expect to offer this service soon.
If you would like to be notified when we begin offering solidification for remains resulting from alkaline hydrolysis,
please send us an email to support@partingstone.com and we’ll put you on the announcement list!
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.
