'Making A Decision'
We fully understand how precious a loved one's memory can be to you and the significance of making the right decision with their cremated remains. We realise this is often the most difficult decision of all. For this reason we provide information detailing the options, which can sometimes mean more than the funeral itself, in years to come, Please feel free to enquire about any of the options detailed below

Scattering Ashes
Options for scattering ashes include local churchyards, local crematoria, public cemeteries and even favourite local locations such as pinewoods, beaches and favourite walkways. If you do not wish to be present, we can arrange the scattering for you, free of charge in local areas. You may wish to be present or to scatter them yourself. Probably the most popular option is to have ashes scattered which can also be recorded in the local church book of remembrance.

Interment of Ashes
Options for burying ashes are very similar to those for scattering. THey can be buried at a local churchyard, public cemeteries allow purchase of half graves specifically for ashes and of course ashes can be buried in your own garden or strewn at sea. Burying ashes can be more costly than scattering, with grave fees, ministers fees, church fees and then memorial stones. This does, however, give a place for family to visit long after the funeral.

Alternate Options
There are many alternate options for ashes and they can be much broader than you might first imagine.
Options range from utilising a small amount of ashes to create a 24% lead crystal, one off, blown glass item, such as a paperweight, vase, or necklace keepsake. This sort of thing can be very relevant when children are involved, to help during their bereavement.
Other items utilising part of the ashes, are jewellery, with guaranteed certified diamond content.
More recently, ashes can be used within a one off custom made fireworks display or flown into space or even scattered from thousands of feet from an aeroplane.

Keeping Hold of the Ashes
You can keep hold of the ashes yourself or we can hold the ashes until you make that final decision. After a period of 6 months we do however make a nominal charge for secure holding of the ashes.
Ashes can also be transferred to other crematoria for scattering, interment or split into smaller mini-urns for keepsakes or for other members of family who may live abroad.
