After cremation the ashes will generally be available from the crematoria the following day. A decision about collection will already have been made with us during the arranging of the funeral.
Cremated remains are usually presented from the crematorium in a durable plastic container inside a cardboard box.
We have a wide selection of urns and vessels that we can then transfer the ashes into if you would prefer, depending on whether they are to be kept at home, interred, or scattered.
Ashes for scattering can be divided, so that several family members and friends can be directly involved. We have a number of smaller urns available for this and we can divide the ashes in advance for you.
We can also offer urns that have been specifically designed to dissolve in water for those that would like to disperse the ashes at sea, or in suitable deep water.
For families that want a spectacular permanent memory, it is possible to have some of the ashes converted into a diamond and set into a ring.
For those wanting an equally spectacular, but more instant memory, we can help arrange for the ashes to be dramatically scattered with the help of fireworks.
