Great Option

What a wonderful way to remember your loved one. The parting stones are clean and easy to handle. A great remembrance for everyone to have and to hold. These parting stones will last forever. The ashes are messy and will blow away, You can leave the parting stones in places where memories have been made.

Wonderful way to remember loved one

The stones are displayed in a beautiful silver tray and such they are a piece of art. I don’t think I could look at an urn…very sad. But the stones are beautiful and I know what they represent. Friends. Have been blown away at their “coolness “…also I have lotsa pieces to take to our favorite places.

Forever Art

Parting Stone is a perfect way to create a forever memory. Every stone is a piece of precious art, made with great care. I will share it with our two sons and our six grandchildren. The kids can paint a stone and make their own memory. I will share it with unique places in the USA and the Netherlands.

I’ve gotten a little of her back

A friend told me about Parting Stone 3 years after my daughter passed away. I had kept her ashes for that time, with no idea what to do with them. I now have stones in my purse, my pockets and all around me. They are beautiful and bring he back to me just a bit.

It is what he would have wanted

I don't know where to begin. I started the process in Aug and I was made aware that I would receive my father's remains months later but was never given a definite time frame. I ended up receiving them in November on my son 16th birthday. Once I received the stones and got to feel him it brought me such joy and confirmed that this is what my father would have wanted when it came to his remains.

Thank you Parting Stones for allowing me to honor my father the right way!

My heart is full

I lost my father after a prolonged illness during which time I was his primary caregiver. He was larger than life and his absence continues to loom large in my life. We scattered a small amount of his ashes, but in the midst of a move I struggled to decide what to do with the rest of his ashes. I didn't want to leave him in the old location (where he wouldn't be near) but I didn't want to keep him in the container. I found Parting Stone and couldn't be happier. I have tangible pieces of him I can hold. I can leave a stone here and there at his favorite places. The stones are beautiful, smooth (like a worry stone) and unique. Thank you for letting us have a better way to keep our loved ones with us besides an urn.
