What do you do with ashes after a loved one dies?
We know this is a sensitive matter for families. Some want to keep the ashes as close as a reminder of the person that died while others want to bring them to a special memorable place.
We have heard of ashes placed in fireworks and heard of them tattooed into the skin. We have seen them placed in jewellery and saved in stunning urns. Many of our families choose to scatter them at one of the local North Shore beaches.
Custom Reterniti Stones for Cremated Ashes
We are impressed by a New Zealand supplier who transforms your ashes into beautiful tactile Cremation Stones and Pebbles: Reterniti Stones.
Reterniti etches each stone with the individual’s name and years of life, creating long lasting, respectful and modern memorial pieces.
The accommodating Reterniti team also makes it easy for our families from start to finish.
How it works:
- You select the number of stones or pebbles you want made.
- Visualise how your etched stone will look on their free website tool.
- You send your ashes using their shipping kit.
- They handcraft the stone using the ashes you have sent.
- They return the stone, tracked and traced along the way.
This is an excellent option for our larger families as up to four stones or up to twenty pebbles can be made with a set of ashes. Each stone is about 1.2 kg and the size of a baseball while the pebbles are about the size of a flattened golf ball.
The stone can be kept on your mantle, your desk, and easily brought to a special location. If you choose to leave it outside, it gradually disintegrates back into the earth.
One of our families thoughtfully used this so their children could easily take one of the Cremation Pebbles as they travelled around the world.

Through every step of the process, our goal is that you’ll never feel alone. We can even send the ashes away for the family if you so prefer. Rely on us to help ease the burden of the practical details so you can focus on grieving, healing, and celebrating your loved one’s life.
While we encourage you to find a cremation solution that suits your story, feel free to ask our opinion or come up with a creative idea for you.
