After the Cremation
The cremation is complete. Many families ask: what now?
Here are your options.
Planning a Celebration of Life
90% of families who choose direct cremation still hold a gathering. You choose when, where and how. A garden party, pub lunch, a walk, or a formal ceremony. It is yours to design.
What to Do with Ashes
In England, you can scatter ashes on your own land, in a garden of remembrance, or in most public places with the landowner's permission. Popular spots in the Fens: the River Nene, River Great Ouse, Wicken Fen, and Fenland Crematorium gardens.
Scattering Ashes: Rules and Ideas
Keep them in an urn, scatter them, divide between family, bury in a churchyard, plant a memorial tree, or have them made into jewellery or glass keepsakes.
