What's next: Afterstones, scatter tubes and natural engraved memorial stones
You've received the ashes, and you can now make some final decisions in your own time. You may wish to have some of the ashes made into an Afterstone: our signature pebbles, hearts, teddy bears and trinket bowls are a beautiful, lasting way to remember them. Our biodegradable scatter tubes help make scattering ashes easier and more dignified, and our natural engraved memorial stones, personalised with your own tribute, mark where you scattered or buried them, so there is always somewhere to return to.
Our signature product - the Afterstone pebbles
Made with care and unconditionally loved by our customers, this signature bestseller which incorporates your loved ones ashes, exceeds all expectations. Our ash-into-stone pebbles are available as a set or as a solo pebble and can be engraved.
For many, the prospect of keeping their loved one close brings a sense of solace, offering a tangible connection even in their absence. Psychologically, being able to physically hold a part of someone you have lost can provide immense comfort, especially during moments of sadness or reflection. This act of holding, whether it's a pebble, a practical item like a bowl, or a keepsake heart, can serve as a gentle reminder that your loved one's memory remains present, helping to ease feelings of loneliness and grief.
Afterstone: For people and pets
Designed for every kind of remembrance
We make memorials for pets as much as for people. The same ash-into-stone pebbles, engraved stones and scatter tubes are made for a dog, a cat, a horse or a person, because the wish to keep them close is the same.
Why families trust Afterstone
A documented chain of custody
Every set of ashes we receive is known by name, never just a number. Alongside that name sits a unique tracking reference, logged at every stage, so your loved one's ashes are identified, documented and accounted for from arrival to return. As a SAIF Associate Member we follow the SAIF Code of Practice and FBCA guidelines on handling ashes.
29 years of regulated industry experience
Afterstone was founded by Victoria Marsh after a 29 year career in Life Sciences, where precise, auditable processes were a daily obligation. That discipline now protects what families entrust to us.
Made in Britain
We are proud members of Made in Britain and proud to support British manufacturing: our products and raw materials are sourced and made in the UK. Our ash-into-stone and memorial pieces are handmade by us in Devon.

A modern approach to remembrance
We believe remembrance does not need to be complicated or ceremonial to be meaningful.
Afterstone brings together a considered range of memorial pieces—from stationery to memorial stones to keepsakes and bespoke artisan pottery—each designed to offer a quiet, physical connection to memory.
Every piece is created with care, balancing simplicity, permanence, and beauty. The result is something you can return to, live alongside, and carry forward over time.
