Parting Stone turns 100% of the ashes into 40–80 smooth, natural stones. Enough for everyone in the family to keep one close — in a pocket, on a shelf, or at a place they loved.
Ashes stay sealed away. A stone sits in your hand, warms to your skin, and goes where you go.
40–80 stones means every sibling, grandchild, and close friend keeps one. No dividing ashes. No choosing who gets the urn.
Most urns end up stored out of sight. Stones live in the open — by photos, in gardens, at the places they loved.
Parting Stone mails you a prepaid, trackable shipping kit. Ordering takes minutes.
Place the ashes in the kit and ship free. One technician handles them start to finish — remains are never mixed.
100% of the ashes return as smooth, polished stones. Most are white; some carry natural blue or green. Every collection is one of a kind.
You want more than one person to hold something real — that's exactly what 40–80 stones from one service solves, and it's the part no urn can do.
