Scattering Ashes

Asking for Permission

Before scattering ashes in public or private places, it's important to ask for permission. Many locations, such as parks, gardens, and public spaces, may have specific rules about the scattering of ashes. Always check with the local authorities or landowners for permission to ensure everything is handled appropriately and respectfully.

For example:

Public Parks or Gardens: Contact your local council for permission.
Private Land: Reach out to the landowner to seek approval before scattering.
Natural Reserves or National Parks: Some national parks may have policies regarding the scattering of ashes, so it’s important to consult their rules and regulations.

Keepsakes

Keeping Your Loved One Close

In addition to scattering ashes, keepsakes are a beautiful way to preserve your loved one's memory. We offer several ways for you to keep a part of them close to your heart:

Ashes to Glass

This service transforms a small amount of your loved one’s ashes into a beautiful piece of jewellery, such as a pendant, ring, or cufflinks. The process involves incorporating the ashes into coloured glass, which is then crafted into a stunning keepsake. Each piece is unique and offers a lasting tribute that you can carry with you forever.

Fingerprint Jewellery

Another meaningful way to remember your loved one is through fingerprint jewellery. This personal tribute involves taking an impression of your loved one's fingerprint and creating a piece of jewellery that can be worn or kept close. Whether in silver, gold, or another precious metal, fingerprint jewellery is a timeless and intimate way to remember someone special.

Personalised Memorial Items

In addition to ashes jewellery, you can also choose from a range of bespoke memorial items, such as engraved photo frames, memorial stones, or urns. These items are designed to honour the unique life of your loved one, and they provide a way to keep their memory alive in a meaningful way.
