Exploring Unique Options for Your Cremated Loved One’s Final Resting Place

Upon receiving the ashes of your departed loved one from the crematorium, it’s understandable to take time to consider the most fitting destination. We offer you special ideas to help guide your decision-making process:

Embracing Nature’s Embrace: Many individuals opt for a natural burial, choosing designated natural cemeteries or scattering the ashes in places of special significance, such as beloved natural areas.

Ashes at Sea: For those with a deep connection to the ocean, scattering ashes at sea can be a poignant choice. This can be done through a solemn ceremony on a boat or from a designated coastal location.

Celestial Farewell: A truly unique option is launching the ashes into space, providing a spectacular and extraordinary farewell for your loved one.

Tree of Remembrance: Some companies offer burial options where ashes can be interred with a tree. The ashes serve as nourishment, creating a lasting and tangible tribute in the form of a tree planted in a cemetery, garden, park, or nature reserve. Alternatively, a small tree can be placed on a terrace or balcony.

Ash Jewellery: A beautiful way to keep your loved one close is through ash jewellery. These mini urns take the form of pendants, rings, earrings, necklaces, or bracelets. Our online store offers a wide range of durable ash jewellery made from materials like stainless steel, silver, and gold, ensuring a lasting and cherished keepsake.

Urns for Ashes: Traditional urns remain a popular choice for storing ashes. Available in various materials, designs, and price ranges, from simple ceramics to luxurious options like marble or bronze, these urns provide a timeless and customizable tribute.

Soaring Heights: Consider releasing the ashes into large helium balloons that ascend 25 kilometres into the air before bursting, allowing the ashes to scatter in multiple directions across the earth.

A Flaring Farewell: opt for a dramatic farewell by incorporating ashes into flares. While regulations apply to the coastal locations from which these flares can be launched, they offer a dynamic and symbolic scattering of ashes towards the sea.

Ashes Transformed by Art: For those who appreciate art, explore the possibility of incorporating the ashes into a painting. Collaborate with an artist to design the painting and determine how the ashes will be integrated, whether throughout the artwork or focused on specific elements, capturing your loved one’s essence.

Each of these options provides a unique and meaningful way to honor your departed loved one’s memory. Take the time to reflect on their life, interests, and desires to find the perfect final resting place that truly captures their spirit and legacy.
