Gift of Serenity

I feel nothing but peace and serenity after receiving my father’s parting stones.
The whole process was handled with compassion and respect.
I am grateful for Parting Stone for providing this option for my family.

Highly Recommend

So wonderful to have something to hold, easily share with family members, and to personalize. My brother and sister have asked I paint on mandala for them. Its wild to look at the box of stones and know that is the physical remains of my mother. So much better than a box of ashes.

Just what Mom would have wanted!

Every single interaction with Parting Stone was excellent. Started with the consultation call and the service was impeccable. So kind and answered every question. The communication was on going throughout the process. We never had to wonder where mom was or what was happening. Such a unique way to keep her close and decorate at the same time. The idea of an urn just didn’t fit mom’s style. Thank you Parting Stone for making a very difficult time so beautiful.

I was very pleased with the parting stones from my husband’s ashes. I am happy to display them. This was my daughter’s idea from a girlfriend who did this with her parents.

Respectful Service

From the moment I shipped my Dad’s remains out until I received the completed stones back, Parting Stone let me know where my loved one’s remains were in the multi-step process in a respectful way. The company truly understands that people are not only paying a lot of money for the product, but are also parting with their loved one for 2 months.

Tears of gratitude

Our son told me about Parting Stone and I am so happy that we entrusted Eric with this company. I was a little worried about the process at first and had a million questions which they patiently answered until I was questioned out. After all, we were entrusting someone we all love and care about very much to people we did not know.
I had no idea how meaningful the stones of my husband would mean to our entire family until Eric arrived back home They have left us with an indescribable amount of comfort with the loss of my husband. Eric is now back home and the stones are an immense comfort. The stones are warm and almost feel alive when we hold them in our hands. No, the stones are not Eric (the person), but they are Eric and he is tangible and he is home! Thank you, Parting Stone for the help that you have provided to us during this horrible time in our lives and thank you to Emily, who sent Eric home to us
