Grateful for this option

Losing my husband at a young age was the hardest experience of my life, and navigating the countless decisions that come after was equally overwhelming. When I discovered Parting Stones, I knew immediately that this was the perfect way to honor my husband's memory. Their entire process was flawless from start to finish. They treated my husband with the utmost respect, sending thoughtful check-in emails to let me know exactly where he was in the process. I loved that they referred to him by name, making the experience deeply personal and comforting.

The stones themselves are beautifully crafted, a tangible way to keep him close and honor his legacy. Their respectful approach, attention to detail, and the care they showed at every step meant the world to me. Their marketing and communication also stood out as genuine and heartfelt, reflecting the true compassion behind their work. I can't thank Parting Stones enough for giving me such a meaningful way to hold on to my husband. We will cherish these stones forever.

Very communicative throughout the process

Parting Stone did a wonderful job with my mother's remains. They were super communicative and up front about the time frame to solidify her remains. You can tell they are compassionate, empathetic people responding to email inquiries as well. The team was very helpful whenever I had a question or requested an update! I would highly recommend to my friends and family.

Mom can continue her travels

Mom loved to travel and would bring home stones for her backyard rock garden. Parting Stones was a perfect way to memorialize her! She can now be with us and also easily continue traveling.

Unusual and beautiful way to have your love ones with you. My brother and I each have a part of our parents. I have the rocks in my office where I can look at them throughout the day and feel that they are always with me.

Wonderful experience

Communication was excellent during the process and they were able to meet our short time frame so we could take the stones on vacation with us and place them where my husband wished. Would do again!

Best decision

We have enjoyed every minute with parting stones team we knew when my father arrived we knew through email where his remains were, and who was working with my dad The girl that was shaping his stones sent an email letting us know that’s what she was doing. They also let us know when they were getting ready to ship him back to us. I’m glad We chose parting stones. My family is very thankful for how wonderful the company is to work with.
I wish I could leave a photo so that you could see what a beautiful job The stones can actually be laser engraved. We had it done on multiple stones, very very pleased.
