It’s called Parting Stone, a company based in San Francisco which offers to turn your loved ones’ ashes into a pile of smooth, white rocks.
Though Parting Stones primarily peddles in human rocks, some of his early experiments were even more peculiar.
He ended up revamping his enterprise, coming up with Parting Stones’ “solidification service,” which begins at $1,195 for pets and $2,495 for humans.
“Our solidification service for an adult [human] returns the full amount of remains as an average of 40-80+ ‘stones,'” the Parting Stone website vows.
— Parting Stone has an unintentionally hilarious “knowledgebase” for customers to peruse.
