After a cremation, the standard next steps are the family receiving the ashes. In some instances, this brings closure to this deeply affecting time and the family choose to keep their ashes at home – usually kept in a special container or urn
Many families opt to scatter the ashes in a variety of ways, depending on their cultural and religious preferences, as well as their loved ones’ final wishes and sometimes in more than one location.


You can choose precisely how you want to carry out the proceedings, with as much or as little formality as you like. This is usually an  intimate and private occasion with selected people around you.


The location of a Scattering Ceremony can be as unique and individual as the person being commemorated. From formal gardens of remembrance, to a place/places special to you or the person who departed, even in your own home – the options are pretty much unlimited.
