Funeral Director Daily take: From my point of view, Parting Stone is one of those products that can add ancillary income to cremation dispositions. It’s a product, like some others, that funeral homes can recieve a commission when families choose the product as part of their memorialization process.

At first glance, when I see this desktop calendar offered, it reminds me back in the day how I could easily suggest that we took credit cards as a form of payment. We did so by having information on the arrangement tables that simply said, “We accept Visa”. That information prompted families to ask about our credit terms and led some families to choose that method of payment. . . .instead of having the funeral home carry the debt.

I think I would use this desk calendar in the same way. It very well could prompt a cremation family who was simply going to take the cremation ash remains home to ask about solidified remains or Parting Stone and result in a commissionable sale for the funeral home.

In essence, like many new products, the power of suggestion (the calendar) may prompt questions that could lead to a better funeral home bottom line.
