We've reserved a spot for your remains in our lab!

Our lab will be ready to begin the solidification process. We will mail a collection kit to retrieve your ashes in about 2 weeks. Our current time to solidify is 8 weeks from when we receive the remains. We will send you an estimated date of completion once they arrive at our lab followed by email updates as the decedent travels through the process.

I have read and accept the Terms of Use. I understand that each set of solidified remains' "stones" vary naturally in size, shape, color texture and may break or crack. I understand that a small amount of ash may be lost during the process.

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 8 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.
