What if cremated remains could be held, shared and kept close in a completely different way?

Parting Stones transform a loved one’s cremated remains into a collection of smooth, natural-looking stones. Families may keep them together, share them among loved ones, or place them somewhere meaningful—creating a tangible and deeply personal form of remembrance.

Ask the Eclipse team about Parting Stones and the many ways cremated remains can be memorialized.

Grief does not follow the timeline the world often expects.

Long after the service has ended and the practical decisions have been made, loss can still affect ordinary days in unexpected ways. On National Grief Awareness Day, we recognize that grief is personal, unpredictable and deserving of patience.

If you are grieving, there is no deadline to feel “back to normal.” If someone you care about is grieving, keep checking in—not only during the first few days, but in the weeks and months that follow.

What exactly is a green burial?

Green burial is designed to allow the body to return naturally to the earth. Instead of conventional embalming, metal caskets or concrete vaults, biodegradable materials like natural-fiber shrouds or wooden caskets are used.

Choosing green burial doesn’t mean giving up a meaningful funeral. Families can still gather, share memories and create a service that reflects their loved one’s life and values.

Every life has a soundtrack.

Some songs remind us of childhood, some of the people we love, and some become part of the memories others carry with them long after the music ends.

What song would you include on your life's soundtrack?

When we think about healing after a loss, we often focus on what we should feel.

Lighting a candle. Sharing stories around the dinner table. Visiting a graveside. Listening to a favorite song. Gathering with family to remember someone you love.

These rituals don't take away our grief, but they can help us carry it.

If you've ever wondered why traditions surrounding loss matter so much, this article explores the important role rituals play in honoring a life, expressing our emotions, and helping us heal.
