Our Story

Parting Stone was founded after our founder experienced the loss of his grandfather and recognized the need for a more personal and comforting way to preserve cremated remains. Working alongside experts and researchers, including collaborators from Los Alamos National Laboratory, we developed a patented process that transforms 100% of cremated remains into beautiful solid stones. Today, thousands of families have chosen this meaningful alternative to traditional ashes. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower families in their journey through grief by offering remains that can be touched, held, and shared. We believe remembrance should encourage connection, comfort, and healing rather than becoming something hidden away or difficult to interact with. As a Public Benefit Corporation, we are committed to balancing innovation with compassion and social responsibility. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Every collection of solidified remains is created through a carefully managed process that includes collection, purification, forming, kiln firing, and polishing. The result is a collection of natural-looking stones that preserve the full amount of cremated remains in a durable and comforting form suitable for keeping, sharing among family members, or placing in meaningful locations. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
