Parting Stone’s Solidified.me Lets People Preview Their Own Solidified Remains This April Fools’ Day
The brand’s lighthearted April Fools’ Day prank invites people to imagine what their solidified remains might look like — no science required
SANTA FE, N.M., April 1, 2026 — In celebration of April Fools’ Day, Parting Stone engaged consumers with a playful campaign centered on Solidified.me, an interactive experience designed to imagine the visual characteristics of a user’s future cremation remains. Live at solidified.me, it invites people to answer a series of totally unscientific questions and receive a randomly generated image of what their stones might look like — purely for laughs and morbid curiosity.
In reality, Parting Stone is the first to admit: nobody knows what determines the color or texture of solidified remains. The results of this digital experience are completely random, the questions are entirely made up, and the images are generated for fun. But that curiosity — what will my remains actually look like after I’m gone? — is irresistible.
“Death is one of life’s great mysteries, and we have almost no say in how it unfolds. Depending on your perspective, that’s either terrifying or oddly freeing. There’s a morbid fantasy in all of us, an itch to wonder what we’ll become after we’re gone. What makes solidified remains so extraordinary is that the answer is different for every single person; no two sets of stones look alike. Solidified.me is a chance to sit with that curiosity, to playfully explore your own mortality and imagine the eternal form you’ll one day take.”
The experience walks users through a series of questions before revealing their result:
- The Color Prediction: Poses a series of seemingly meaningful questions about a user’s lifestyle and biology, then assigns a stone color.
- Stone Preview: Generates an image of what a user’s stones might look like — texture, shape, and all. The results are different every time and entirely made up, but surprisingly fun to receive.
- Digital Sharing: Enables users to share their predictive results on social media to normalize conversations around end-of-life planning and memorialization.
Users curious about what solidified remains actually look like are encouraged to explore the real thing at partingstone.com.
