A Place to Remember – Honouring Their Life with a Lasting Tribute

A Place to Remember is a gentle and meaningful way to describe the moment when we lay a loved one’s ashes to rest. Whether it’s through burial, scattering, or creating a special memorial space, this act offers comfort, reflection, and a peaceful place to return to in remembrance.

After cremation, there are many ways to honour your loved one’s life. Some families keep the ashes in a cherished urn at home. Others choose to scatter them in a location that held personal meaning. Whatever you decide, what matters most is that it feels right for you—and reflects the life, love, and legacy of the person you’re remembering.

A Ceremony of Comfort and Healing

Planning this moment can be deeply healing. Whether private or shared with family and friends, you may choose to include music, prayer, or spoken words that celebrate a life well lived. As the officiant who may have led the funeral, I can support you in crafting a heartfelt service that gently guides you through this special time.

Having a permanent or meaningful place to return to—whether a garden, a natural setting, or a burial plot—can bring lasting comfort to those in mourning. It becomes a place to remember, reflect, and find peace.

Personalised Ashes Ceremonies

This ceremony can be part of a Celebration of Life or arranged at a later date when the time feels right. It’s an opportunity to honour your loved one with grace and intention, creating a legacy that lives on.

Thoughtful Options for Ashes Placement

Here are a few common choices families consider when selecting a final resting place:

Private Land – With landowner permission, this option allows for personal connection, though future access should be considered.

Scenic Spots – Countryside or coastal views can create a beautiful backdrop, though privacy may be limited during busy times.

Rivers and Streams – The Environment Agency permits scattering ashes in water, as long as no non-biodegradable materials are used.

At Sea – Families often choose the open water for its tranquillity. Ashes may be scattered from a boat or at the shoreline.

Hilltops and Mountains – These awe-inspiring places offer natural beauty but require careful consideration of weather and terrain.

Creating a Lasting Memory

There’s no right or wrong way to say goodbye—only what’s meaningful for your family. Whether you choose a formal ceremony, a quiet moment, or something unique, this time can bring healing, closure, and a lasting connection.
