Clean Alternative
Unlike urns and ashes, Parting Stones provide a meaningful, tangible connection with your love one.
Share the Love
With a collection of 40-60 unique stones, Parting Stones are designed to be shared among loved ones.
One of a Kind
Each set of stones vary in shape, color, and texture; no two sets are alike.
A Tribute as Unique as They Were
The appearance of each memorial stone collection is completely natural and never duplicated. Unique shapes, textures, and tones create a tribute that feels personal and one of a kind.
How it Works
Receive Your Welcome Kit
After you confirm your order with Opal, we coordinate everything for you. Our trusted partner, Parting Stone, sends a welcome kit to transfer 100% of your loved one’s cremated remains into 40-80 stones. If you prefer, we can handle the transfer for you.
Purification
Once the ashes arrive at the lab, a technician will remove contaminants like staples and implants.
Forming
The ash is turned into a clay-like material, and the stones are formed.
Solidifying
The remains are heated in a kiln, solidifying the ashes into stone.
Return Home
The solidified remains are polished and returned home.

What Families Are Saying
I am so impressed with my husband’s stones, as well as the way Parting Stone handled everything. I have shared some of the stones with his best friends in Germany, and I took one with me to a beloved vacation spot of ours. I find I talk to him more. Our family appreciates each of us being able to have a few stones. I love how the stones feel in the hand—so smooth.

Thank you Parting Stones for assisting in our healing process.

The stones are small enough that I keep my husband with me at all times. And they’re plentiful enough that my plan is to place his stones in beautiful and significant places all over the world as I continue having adventures. This is how I honor my wonderful husband. I’m so glad I found Parting Stones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? You’re not alone. We’ve answered some of the most common ones below to help you feel more confident and supported.
Can I work directly with Parting Stone instead of through Opal?
Yes, but when you work with Opal, you get a dedicated team to handle secure ash transfer, shipping, coordination, and any questions that arise.
Do I have to use Opal for the cremation to order parting stones through you?
No, you can order your parting stones as a standalone service, even if your cremation was done elsewhere. Give us a call, and we’ll get the process started.
How much of my loved one’s ashes are needed to create parting stones?
Parting Stone asks for 100% of a loved one’s ashes to ensure consistency in the number, size, and quality of the stone. However, if you have unique needs and cannot send the full amount, they will accept a ¼ cup.

The process typically takes 8-10 weeks from the day the cremated remains arrive at the lab. We will notify you of a more exact wait time once the order is placed.
