Parting Stone

Many people want to feel a connection with the remains of their departed, but they can’t because they are returned in an uncomfortable granular form. This poor experience often results in remains being stashed away in our homes, out of sight, for decades. This detached relationship with one of our most treasured possessions is tragic.  Solidified remains allow families to feel a meaningful connection with the people they’ve lost. Now, everyone in the family can remember in a way that is special to them. This solid form of remains is a platform for healing, growth, and engagement.

Solidified remains are the full amount of human remains returned to families in a solid and clean form. Each set of solidified remains is different and varies in color, texture, shape, size, and number of solids. Solidified remains are about as hard as real stones and will not disintegrate in water.

The color of the solidified remains is 100% natural. Many solids come out of our process white or a hue of blue or green, but we sometimes see radical variations like chocolate brown, lavender, honey, or blue speckles. The solids in each collection vary from the size of your thumbnail up to the size of your palm.

Solidified remains act and feel very much like normal river stones. The material is clean and permanent like ceramic. The solids will not dissolve in water or scratch with your fingernail. They will outlast us on Earth.
