# Interactive Solidified Remains Quizes Parting Stone Celebrated April Fool's with a Playful Quiz By Kalin Ned | Published 2026-04-24 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parting-stone References: [solidified.me](https://solidified.me/) & [partingstone](https://partingstone.com/)  [Parting Stone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parting-stones) is known as the company that invented solidified remains as an alternative to conventional cremation ashes. Earlier this month, the brand stirred consumer interest by launching an [April Fools' Day campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eight-oclock-coffee) called Solidified.me. Solidified.me was an [interactive online quiz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/branded-dna-kit) that allowed users to answer a series of intentionally nonsensical questions and receive a randomly generated, entirely fabricated preview of what their own cremated remains might look like as stones. Parting Stone employed the quiz as a playful, irreverent marketing tool, designed to address one of the most frequently asked questions the company receives — what determines the color and texture of solidified remains. In reality, no one knows the answer because the variations result from each individual's unique biological composition.
