Cremated remains

When arranging the funeral, you may not have decided on the final resting place for your loved one’s cremated remains . We would be pleased to advise you on the variety of options open to you.

Scattering the cremated remains:

This can be carried out in a number of places including:

In the grounds of the crematorium
In your garden
At a place with fond memories
In woodland or on moorland
At sea
Abroad

NB: In some cases, permission may be needed from the appropriate authority.

Burying the cremated remains

People choose to bury the cremated remains for a variety of reasons. For instance, families can then visit the place of burial and put up a memorial at the site, while others place the cremated remains of more than one family member together.

You may be able to bury the cremated remains :

Within the grounds of the crematorium
In a churchyard or cemetery
In a grave
In your garden

In each case, we can help by seeking permission from the appropriate authority.

Keeping the cremated remains

Some people prefer to keep the cremated remains at home in a casket or urn designed for that purpose. In some cases this is so that when a spouse or partner dies, the remains of both can be scattered or buried together. Others place a small amount in a piece of jewellery, for example a specially designed locket. Our offices have displays of urns, keepsakes and specialist jewellery and can offer advice on what is available.

FEEDBACK FROM FAMILIES WE'VE CARED FOR

“This is the very best kind of family business, where everyone is really invested in what they do. What a kind, considerate and efficient bunch of people, who did a great job for us but were also a pleasure to deal with. When the time came, Mum wasn’t prepared to use anything else and you carried her wishes out with dignity, courtesy and efficiency. You made a difficult time and process so much easier, and I couldn’t speak highly enough of you. Utterly recommended to anyone considering a funeral director. Thank you all.”
