Welcome to the latest episode of the Guiding Grief podcast, where host Nicholas Welzenbach delves into the transformative journey of memorialization with Stephanie Poirier from Parting Stone. Discover the innovative approach to honoring loved ones as we explore the story behind Parting Stone, a groundbreaking company featured on Shark Tank in April 2023. Founded by ceramic artist Justin Crow in the wake of his grandfather's passing, Parting Stone offers a fresh perspective on remembrance. Rather than keeping ashes tucked away, these solidified remains are crafted into enduring stones, allowing for meaningful sharing, display, or scattering in cherished locations. Join us as we explore how Parting Stone reshapes the grieving process, encouraging connection, storytelling, and open dialogue surrounding the memory of those we hold dear.
