The average dog is 5-40 stones. The exact number of stones returned depends on the volume of remains provided. A good rule of thumb is that we will return a similar volume of solidified remains’ stones as the volume of ashes that we receive. In other words, 1 quart of ashes will return about 1 quart of stones.

The average cat is 2-10 stones. The exact number of stones returned depends on the volume of remains provided. A good rule of thumb is that we will return a similar volume of solidified remains’ stones as the volume of ashes that we receive.

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.

1. We mail a collection kit to retrieve 100% of your pet’s cremated remains.

2. We remove impurities like metals and implants.

3. The ash is turned into a clay-like material, and the stones are formed.

4. The remains are heated in a kiln, solidifying the ashes into stones.

5. Finished solidified remains are polished and returned home.

The solidification lead time varies depending on our current order volume. For new orders, our current estimated wait time to begin the process is 2 weeks and our current estimated completion date for orders placed today is 56 days. We recommend placing your order as soon as possible to reserve your spot in line.

We always prioritize the safekeeping of the decedents in our care over speed.

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.

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. 

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.
