If you choose to have your loved one cremated, within a week or so after the event, their ashes will be passed by the crematorium to us as your funeral director. We will then get in touch with you to let you know that we have them, that they are safe, and to ask you what you would like to have done with them.
There are a number of options available to you.
The ashes can be:
· Kept in a decorative, sealed urn.
· Buried in a small plot or memorial site.
· Scattered at a significant location (permission needed for public or private property).
· Incorporated into jewellery or a tattoo.
Whatever you decide, we are very happy to help with advice for how to achieve your desired outcome, and please do get in touch if there is anything you do think we can assist with.
Unlike some funeral directors, we do not impose a time restriction on looking after ashes for you, nor do we impose a fee for so doing, but there is a limit to how much storage space we can make available for this service. As a result, it is always helpful if families keep us informed as to their plans. We will send you reminders from time-to-time if the ashes have been left with us for a long while, but we do understand that for some people, the finality of collecting them and finding a permanent location in which to put them can be an emotional process in itself. Again, if you are struggling with the idea, please do not hesitate to get in touch and we will assist in any way we can.
If you are having problems facing collection of your loved one’s ashes, all we ask is that you let us know.
We will always try to help.
