How we do it

This is how we transform ashes into lasting tributes - solidified stones that can be held, shared, and cherished forever.

 

We take great pride in the technical artistry that goes into every memorial stone we create. The processes to create solidified remains are complex and our skilled technicians are experts in their field, ensuring that each step of our carefully developed process is carried out with the highest level of care and attention to detail. The transformation of cremated remains into stones is a delicate, multi-stage process that requires both technical skill and a deep respect for the memory of your loved one.

 

Whilst the specific processes we use to transform cremated remains into remembrance stones are proprietary, we want to provide an outline of the process journey involved in creating these unique memorials.

 

The Process

 

Primary Screening
We begin by carefully screening the cremated remains to remove any contaminants or foreign objects, such as staples or implants. This initial step ensures that only the purest material is used, utilizing specialized equipment designed for precise screening.

 

Secondary Screening
A finer, secondary screening process is conducted using advanced filtration tools to eliminate any smaller impurities, ensuring the remains are thoroughly cleansed and ready for the next stage.

 

Composition Testing
Next, we test the remains using state-of-the-art equipment to determine their specific composition. Factors such as diet, age, and mineral exposure can affect the makeup of the remains. This analysis allows us to tailor our process for each individual, ensuring optimal results in the final product.

 

Particle Reduction
The remains are then reduced to a uniform, fine powder using high-precision milling equipment. This step ensures consistency, which is crucial for the blending process that follows, allowing for an even texture and smooth finish in the memorial stones.

 

Washing and Drying
Once the ashes are finely powdered, they are carefully washed and dried using specialized chambers to remove any lingering impurities. This ensures the material is pure and perfectly prepared for the next stages of the process.

 

Combining with Minerals
The fine ash powder is blended with high-quality natural minerals in a controlled three-stage mixing process. This step enhances the strength and beauty of the final stones, utilizing specialized blending equipment to ensure a perfect mix.

 

Adding Natural Binders
Natural binders are introduced using precise dosing equipment, creating a porcelain-like clay that serves as the foundation for each memorial stone. This mixture ensures durability and a refined appearance.

 

Shaping the Stones
Our skilled artisans then shape the clay into unique stones, with each piece carefully molded using techniques that preserve the individuality of the person or pet being memorialized.

 

Stage 1 Thermal Curing
The stones undergo an initial thermal curing process in specially designed equipment to pre-harden them. This ensures their durability and long-lasting integrity.

 

Stage 2 Thermal Curing
The stones are then placed in a specialized heated chamber for several days to complete the hardening process. This stage is critical for achieving the final strength and stability of the stones.

 

Quality Inspection
Each stone undergoes a thorough inspection to meet our standards. Any stones that do not meet our quality criteria are reprocessed and recreated.

 

Finishing and Polishing
The stones are hand-finished and polished using advanced polishing tools, giving them their smooth, elegant appearance. This final touch ensures they are beautiful keepsakes that reflect the care and craftsmanship of our process.

 

Packing and Presentation
We wrap each stone in natural cotton wadding and place them in a Muslin drawstring bag before presenting them in our signature wooden box. This ensures that each memorial stone is delivered as a fitting tribute, ready to be cherished.

 

Expertise and Care
Our technicians are not only skilled craftsmen but also individuals who understand the profound significance of their work. Every step of our process reflects our commitment to creating memorials that honor your loved one’s memory in the most respectful and lasting way. From screening and shaping to testing, polishing, and packing, each stage of our process is managed with precision and the utmost care, ensuring that you receive a memorial stone of exceptional quality and beauty.
