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 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.
