Our Keepsakes
Pets make a profound impact on their owner’s lives. Not only do they provide daily companionship, but they also help people understand themselves better, cope with life experiences, and complete their families.
Unfortunately, beloved pets eventually pass away, leaving behind their precious bodies and a lifetime of cherished memories. However, you don’t have to say goodbye forever after they pass. Instead, you can purchase a special keepsake from Heavenly Paws Pet Aquamation to keep your pet’s memories alive.
We offer clients a wide variety of pet keepsakes. We understand how having a touching and meaningful remembrance of a deceased loved one can help people cope with grief and bring to mind loving memories. That’s why our aquamation facility offers various keepsakes in an impressive assortment of sizes, designs, colors, and materials. There are many options to personalize and choose from so you can find a keepsake as special and unique as your pet.
A Clean Alternative to Cremated Remains
Solidified remains are a complete alternative to cremated remains that allow you to live comfortably with your departed. The solidification process compresses conventional cremated remains into a beautiful collection of “stones” that you can hold, share, scatter, and travel with.
Frequently Asked Questions about Solidified Remains & Parting Stone
How can I be sure I am getting my pet’s remains back?
How does Parting Stone turn the remains into stones, what are they actually doing?
Parting Stone worked with Los Alamos National Lab to develop the process to create solidified remains. They refine the cremated remains, add a small amount of binder (glass) and superheat the remains. You receive back the remains of your pet in a form that you can hold, share, scatter, display, or bury.
How long will it take to get my pet’s solidified remains?
It will take up to 2 weeks for the shelter to cremate your pet, and then about 8 weeks more for Parting Stone to process and return the solidified remains.
How long will the "stones" last?
Solidified remains look, feel, and behave just like stones. They can be broken with a hammer, but otherwise will last as long as a stone found in nature.
What color will the stones be?
The color of solidified remains is 100% natural. Many pets result in white stones, but some are a hue of blue, green, or a radical variation.
I am concerned about the environment – is this environmentally friendly?
Solidified remains are much gentler for scattering than cremated remains. Cremated remains can damage delicate ecosystems, but solidified remains look, feel, and behave like stones and don’t damage or change the ecosystem at all.
What if I already have animal cremains that I would now like turned into Solidified Remains?

Now offering commissioned one of a kind memorial pet portraits painted by a local artist.
R. Carter is an Atlanta native. He discovered his interest in the arts while attending Tennessee State University. During the day he works with animals and through that work he has developed an inspiration for pet portraits.
About him: “My passion for creating has always been present, even when inspiration has long served it’s turn. Inspiration to me is like a spark plug, it can ignite an idea, but without passion and consistency as the fuel, the idea will have zero driving force.”
About his paintings: “Keep it simple and thoughtful. Some of my best and most detailed works have been accomplished with only a few well placed and planned out brush strokes.”
