A Place to Remember – Honouring Life with a Lasting Tribute

A Place to Remember is a meaningful way to describe the moment when a loved one’s ashes are laid to rest. Whether through burial, scattering, or creating a permanent memorial, this moment offers comfort, reflection, and a peaceful location to visit and remember.

Following cremation, many families choose from several heartfelt options. Some keep the ashes in a decorative urn at home, while others choose to scatter them in a meaningful location or inter them in a cemetery or memorial plot. What matters most is selecting an option that reflects the love, faith, and life of the person you are remembering.

Personalised Christian Ashes Ceremony – A Place to Remember

You may wish to hold a small, private ceremony when interring ashes into a grave, garden, or chosen resting place. As a Christian Celebrant and Minister of Faith, I am honoured to lead these sacred and comforting moments—especially if I have already walked with your family through the funeral or earlier stages of grief.

A Place to Remember can be a standalone service or part of a wider Celebration of Life. It provides a spiritual and lasting location to return to—a place of healing, reflection, and continued connection with your loved one.

A Ceremony of Comfort and Healing

Planning a ceremony to lay ashes to rest is a deeply personal and healing process. Whether you choose a private moment or invite close family and friends, each ceremony can include:

• Prayers or meaningful scripture readings

• Favourite songs or hymns

• A time of remembrance or personal tributes

• Moments of silence for reflection

Each ceremony is fully personalised to honour the life, personality, and values of your loved one. I work closely with every family to create a respectful, faith-filled tribute that brings peace and comfort.

Options for Ashes Placement Across the UK

As a UK-based Christian Celebrant, I offer support and ceremony leadership across the entire United Kingdom. While UK law supports your right to bury or scatter ashes, you may need permission depending on location. Here are some of the most common options:

Private Land

Ashes can be buried or scattered on private property with the landowner’s consent. Always consider whether future access will be possible, especially if ownership changes.

Countryside or Beauty Spots

Scenic areas such as parks, woodland, or coastal cliffs are popular choices. These locations offer peace and natural beauty, though they may lack privacy and require local approval.

Rivers and Waterways

The Environment Agency allows ashes to be scattered in rivers or streams, provided biodegradable materials are used. A flowing river can provide a serene and symbolic farewell.

At Sea

Ashes can be scattered from a boat or gently released at the shoreline. This is a powerful and peaceful choice, especially for those with a love for the ocean or sailing.

Hilltops or Mountains

Elevated, natural places provide breathtaking views and quiet surroundings. Accessibility and environmental considerations should be taken into account before choosing this option.

Creating a Lasting Memory

There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to honouring a loved one. Whether you prefer a formal ashes interment, a simple scattering ceremony, or a garden tribute surrounded by nature, the key is to choose something meaningful.

A physical place to return to—be it a headstone, tree, garden, or special location—can bring long-term comfort and a sense of spiritual closeness.
