Dispersal of Ashes
Traditionally, ashes were scattered in the Garden of Remembrance
at the crematorium. This is still offered by most crematoria, usually
without extra cost. You can also have a memorial at the crematorium
in stone, as a plaque, a rosebush or tree or an entry in the Book
of Remembrance.
Many people now choose
to collect the ashes and scatter or bury them in a place of
special emotional connection.
That might be the person’s
birthplace, on water, a park or favourite walk.

It’s also possible to have a small amount
of someone’s ashes suspended in
glass as a piece of jewellery or an ornament. Making some of
the ashes in to man-made diamonds is
also an option.

For a spectacular final send-off, ashes
can be incorporated into fireworks or
even blasted into
space.
It’s not uncommon for people to divide a
person’s ashes so that closest friends and family
can scatter or keep them in the manner they find most
fitting.

We can provide you with smaller vessels
if you want to divide the ashes or send someone a token, and we’ll
decant the ashes for you if required.
If ashes are to be taken to a family grave for scattering or burial,
it is advisable to make formal arrangements with the cemetery.
