In the UK, around 78% of funerals involve a cremation, which then leaves our families the decision of what to do with their loved one’s ashes. However, there’s no immediate haste to make a decision. You are welcome to take the ashes home with you for as long as you want, before making plans, or we can keep them securely at our premises.
If you do take the ashes home, you could simply keep them in a casket or perhaps place them in your garden. If you do decide to ‘bury’ the ashes, then we can suggest caskets which are made for this purpose and won’t split after time.
We offer a wide variety of urns and your choice will be partly dictated by what you decide to do with the ashes. If you are storing them at home – perhaps on a shelf – then we can offer some really stunning containers.
Ashes can also be interred in a cemetery, including our new local one at Summersales, where there are a number of options available. We can support families to do this and can arrange for a small service if required.
