I was one of the OG funeral professionals posting and talking about Parting Stone. This week, they will debut on ABCs Shark Tank, and I am so excited to see them get the recognition they deserve.

The founder of Parting Stone, Justin Crowe, was one of the first funeral industry journalists that wrote about Kermit and his role as a therapy dog in funeral care. When he debuted his idea for solidified remains I was an instant fan. This option solves a new question arising daily... what do I do with the ash?

I'd like to introduce you to one of many options... Parting Stone Solidified Remains.

Parting Stone is a company that specializes in transforming cremated remains into beautiful, solidified stones that can be kept as a permanent memorial to a loved one. Their process is unique in the funeral industry, and they have quickly become a popular choice for families who want a lasting and meaningful way to honor their loved ones.

So, how does it work? When you order from Parting Stone, they will send you a kit that includes everything you need to collect a small amount of your loved one's cremated remains. Once you have collected the remains, you simply send the kit back to Parting Stone, and they will use a proprietary process to transform the remains into a beautiful, solidified stone.

The stones come in a variety of colors and sizes, and can be personalized with engravings or other customizations. They are a wonderful way to remember a loved one, and many families find comfort in having a physical object that they can hold and cherish.

One of the things that sets Parting Stone apart from other companies in the funeral industry is their commitment to sustainability. They use eco-friendly materials and processes, and all of their stones are made in the USA. They also donate a portion of their profits to organizations that support environmental conservation.

Overall, Parting Stone is a company that offers a unique and meaningful way to honor the memory of a loved one. Their solidified stones are a beautiful and lasting tribute, and their commitment to sustainability makes them an excellent choice for families who want to make a positive impact on the world.

A Clean Alternative to Cremated Remains.

Solidified remains are a complete alternative to cremated remains that allow you to live comfortably with your departed. The solidification process compresses conventional cremated remains into a beautiful collection of “stones” that you can hold, share, scatter, and travel with.

Frequently Asked Questions about Solidified Remains & Parting Stone

What is the cost of this process?

The total cost for solidified remains, including shipping, is $345 for dogs and $295 for cats, in addition to the private cremation charges through the shelter.

How can I be sure I am getting my pet’s remains back?

Parting Stone is a company of pet lovers and understands your concern. Every set of remains they receive is labeled and tracked throughout the entire processing. They have individualized equipment for each step of the process and the ashes are never mingled. A single Parting Stone technician handles your pet’s remains throughout the process.

How does Parting Stone turn the remains into stones, what are they actually doing?

Parting Stone worked with Los Alamos National Lab to develop the process to create solidified remains. They refine the cremated remains, add a small amount of binder (glass) and superheat the remains. You receive back the remains of your pet in a form that you can hold, share, scatter, display, or bury.

How long will it take to get my pet’s solidified remains?

It will take up to 2 weeks for the shelter to cremate your pet, and then about 8 weeks more for Parting Stone to process and return the solidified remains.

How long will the “stones” last?

Solidified remains look, feel, and behave just like stones.  They can be broken with a hammer, but otherwise will last as long as a stone found in nature.

What color will the stones be?

The color of solidified remains is 100% natural. Many pets result in white stones, but some are a hue of blue, green, or a radical variation. 

I am concerned about the environment – is this environmentally friendly?

Solidified remains are much gentler for scattering than cremated remains.  Cremated remains can damage delicate ecosystems, but solidified remains look, feel, and behave like stones and don't damage or change the ecosystem at all.

What if I already have animal cremains that I would now like turned into Solidified Remains?
