Cremation<\/h4>\n

Most crematoria incorporate a service chapel. However, you may wish to hold a service in church or another location before the service in the crematorium chapel. Whatever you decide, we can take care of the necessary arrangements for you.<\/p>\n

After cremation \u2013 your options<\/h4>\n

When arranging the funeral, you may not have been sure of the final resting place for the ashes. Therefore, it may be necessary to make final arrangements now or allow more time for your decision. There are a number of options and choices in this area and we will be pleased to discuss all possibilities, give advice about local regulations and the costs involved. Our stonemason will be pleased to advise and quote for any memorial you would like.<\/p>\n

What will I do with the ashes?<\/h4>\n

Ashes can be scattered, buried or kept. We strongly recommend you allow time to consider all the options.<\/p>\n

Scattering the ashes <\/strong>could be:<\/p>\n

\n
• In the grounds of the crematorium<\/li>\n
• On a family grave<\/li>\n
• In your garden<\/li>\n
• At a place with fond memories<\/li>\n
• In woodland or moorland<\/li>\n
• At sea<\/li>\n
• Abroad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  In some cases, you may need permission from the appropriate authority.<\/p>\n

  Burying ashes <\/strong>can be done for a variety of reasons.\u00a0 Families can visit the place of burial and put up a memorial at the site or perhaps place the ashes of more than one family member together. We would be happy to advise on a suitable casket or urn for burial and any memorial you might require.<\/p>\n

  You may choose to bury the ashes:<\/p>\n

  \n
  • Within the grounds of the crematorium<\/li>\n
  • In a churchyard<\/li>\n
  • In a grave<\/li>\n
  • In your garden<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In each case permission should be sought from the appropriate authority, and we would be happy to do this on your behalf.<\/p>\n

    Some people prefer to keep<\/strong> the ashes 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.<\/p>\n

    We would be happy to discuss all options with you. You do not have to make a decision immediately \u2013 some crematoria will hold the ashes for a limited time or we can hold them at our funeral home at no charge until a decision has been made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
