Parting Stone
Robison-Bahnmiller Funeral Home has partnered with Parting Stone–a Santa Fe, New Mexico-based company that offers a clean alternative to cremated remains following cremation. Families choosing cremation can now receive stone-like solidified remains that can be touched, held, and shared.
“This new alternative has been well received by families, especially those that don’t have a final resting place in mind before a loved one passes. Solidified remains offer a new choice. People find comfort in having part of their loved one’s ashes, and the stones make dividing them between groups of people easier and more natural. The stones are easier to handle than traditional cremated remains too, which can be unpredictable and messy when scattering. They can also be placed in a garden, a forest, ceremoniously cast into a body of water, or left at a favorite spot. We have always strived to find practical and meaningful ways to memorialize someone while also meeting the needs of the families we serve.” -Steve Robison
“It is a profound opportunity to live with the remains of our loved ones, but conventional cremated remains make that experience uncomfortable,” says Parting Stone founder and CEO Justin Crowe. “We developed an alternative to conventional cremated remains to help families feel a meaningful connection with their departed. When you choose cremation, you no longer have to take home ashes.”
