Memorialisation options

Here are some special ways you might like to honour your loved one, outside of the more traditional options.

Scattering at a special location

Choose a place that holds special meaning, such as a favourite beach, mountaintop, or arrange for a scattering from an aeroplane for a more unique farewell.

Cemeteries and memorial parks

If the cremation takes place at a specific crematorium, families can arrange for the scattering of cremated remains within the cemetery grounds.

Fireworks display

Include cremated remains in a fireworks display. A stunning visual tribute as the remains are released into the sky, offering a memorable farewell that friends and family can gather to experience.

Memorial jewellery

Create beautiful pieces such as rings, necklaces, or bracelets, allowing you to carry a part of your loved one with you in a way that feels both intimate and meaningful.

Memorial tree planting

Using specialised urns, families can plant a tree using a biodegradable urn containing their loved one’s cremated remains. This eco-friendly option offers a lasting tribute, allowing nature to carry on your loved one’s memory through the growth of a tree.

Candle holders or vessels

Some urns are designed to hold candles, allowing families to light a candle during special moments to honour their loved one. A simple yet beautiful way to remember your loved one at home.
