“Humor plays an essential role in the death care profession,” says Justin Crowe, Founder of Parting Stone. “It helps us manage the emotional weight of serving families while confronting the realities of mortality ourselves.”

A Calendar Designed for Funeral Professionals

The 2025 “Death Rocks!” Calendar isn’t your average desk calendar. Each page features an imaginative AI-generated visual tied to solidified remains and the realities of funeral service work. The images range from the heartfelt to the hilariously bizarre, offering something fresh every day.

You might flip to a touching depiction of a family scattering mom’s remains on a serene beach one day, and a psychedelic portrayal of the United States Postal Service the next. Some pages even take you to distant alien planets where solidified remains rain from the sky. Also hidden in the 365 pages are easter eggs related to Parting Stone’s top-selling funeral homes, favorite funeral directors, and death care industry icons. Every turn of the page delivers a death care surprise, reminding professionals to embrace creativity and humor in their work.

“This calendar highlights how solidified remains can be meaningful, innovative, and even entertaining,” says Crowe. “Solidified remains are a canvas for families to create meaningful memorial experiences—whether they want to share, travel, scatter, or simply hold their loved one again. It’s about honoring life with creativity—and maybe a few puns along the way.”

Each image in the 2025 “Death Rocks!” Calendar was generated by AI using carefully crafted prompts, resulting in visuals that range from surprisingly accurate to delightfully absurd and nonsensical.

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.
