What is cast stone?
Cast stone is a refined form of concrete, a mix of sand, gravel and cement. Our cast stone is made from a high strength cement mix that gives optimum detail in casting. The Ashes In Stone option of blending human or pet ashes into the cast stone is a process we developed from the practice of adding fly ash to commercial concrete in order to make it stronger. The Romans added ash from Mount Vesuvius to the concrete they used to build roads, aqueducts and buildings. Today engineers marvel at the strength of structures such as the Coliseum that are still standing after thousands of years.
