ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Santa Fe-based Parting Stone’s novel technology to turn cremated ashes into beautiful, solidified remains is rapidly gaining ground in the “deathcare” industry.
The company, which launched in fall 2019, offers people a better way to connect with departed loved ones, turning ashes into smooth, polished memorial stones that can be held, shared or displayed, said Parting Stone founder and CEO Justin Crowe.
The company now partners with 340 funeral homes across the country to offer solidification services to families who plan to create remains. That’s up from about 200 funeral partners last fall.

The Santa Fe New Mexican
Jul. 1 The legalization of recreational marijuana generated the most attention during the regular and special legislative sessions earlier this year. But lawmakers passed dozens of other pieces of legislation that may touch the lives of everyday New Mexicans.
Among the higher-profile bills signed into law by the governor that go into effect by July 1: Senate Bill 10 repealed a half-century-old law that criminalized abortion in New Mexico. The 1969 statute had been unenforceable because of Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that found overly restrictive state government regulations of abortion unconstitutional. But amid concerns the U.S. Supreme Court would overturn or weaken that decision, some of the state s leading Democrats made the repeal a top priority after an effort two years prior failed.
