For Human Reterniti Stones – No. We create a large Reterniti Stone that utilises about third of a typical adults ashes. If you are ordering multiple Reterniti Stones, then we would use all the ashes. A Reterniti Pebble uses about 100grams of ashes so between 35 to 40 Pebbles are possible.
In New Zealand & Australia a people Reterniti Stone is $799 incl GST and Reterniti Pebbles are $598 for a pair (minimum order is two)
The point of a Reterniti Stone or Pebble is that a loved one is not forgotten. Keep them close, talk to them, hold them or travel with them. Place them somewhere that was meaningful to them; and then go visit them. If they are at home with you and you move house, take them with you.
We feel ashes are fine, but unfinished, risky to store and most times unpleasant to scatter. Urns or wooden boxes to our mind are conspicuous and old fashioned. A Reterniti Stone or Pebble is infinitely better to transport, store, display, place outside, bury or place in water.
Yes. This is a very popular option.
We can make up to 4 people Reterniti Stones from one set of adult ashes or up to 40 Reterniti Pebbles.
Pebbles are great for placing in multiple locations that were meaningful to the departed or for travelling with.
Each Reterniti Stone is handmade and is placed on a bed of New Zealand Lambs wool pearls, which in turn sits upon a hand turned wooden display plinth.
All Stones are delivered in a two part fabric bookbound tube box, and personally signed off by our Master Stonemaker who created the Stone.
Reterniti Pebbles are presented within a carry pouch surrounded by lambs wool inside a square box. An external courier box packed with paper straw protects the precious items during transit.
You can have up to 15 characters across (including spaces) for your loved ones name no matter the size of the stone. Most customers have the name of their loved one and years of life, but you don’t have to. We also have the option to add a love heart onto your Reterniti Stone with your loved ones details and it can be a great addition to your Reterniti Stone if you have decided not to add a name.

A Reterniti Pebble is a mini Reterniti Stone. It’s about the size of a slightly flattened golf ball and uses a fraction of the ashes. A Pebble is a small hand-held memento, ideal for travelling with, giving to friends & family or placing in multiple locations. Each Reterniti Pebble comes in its own carry pouch surrounded by lambs wool within an attractive square box.
