Cremation Services in Arlington Heights, Illinois

"We had a sort of shock/unpleasant feeling with the cremation service we used. It made us realize how even in death, the importance of where our loved one's remains are sent. My mother wanted her ashes scattered in the sea, and my siblings and I wanted to honor her request. As the next few years went by (it was not easy for us to coordinate time to be together to travel), we discovered Parting Stone. We were hesitant to give our mother's ashes to a fairly unknown service, but the testimonials and support term at Parting Stone were helpful in our decision process. We loved the idea of leaving stones in the sea instead of just scattering ashes. It also allowed us to hold a tangible piece of our mom's remains and to have a visual reminder of her. In times of grief, it soothes my heart to 'hold' my mom close. My children, who weren't able to meet my mom, not only have the stories I share, but can also hold the stone we kept and be reminded of her."
