3 Unusual Ways to Scatter Your Ashes after Cremation
We know that many of our clients don’t like talking about death and when we ask if they have any wishes for the funeral or their ashes, following their cremation, we are often met with the response…
“I don’t care, I won’t be here!!”.
Now, we can’t argue with that! However, there may be something you really want (in which case make sure your loved ones know!) or you may be looking for something a little bit different.
So, here are just a few ideas for those of you looking for something a little unusual…
Being planted in a Biodegradable Urn to become a Tree
The Biodegradable Urns are made up of two capsules, one to hold your ashes and the other to hold the seed of your tree of choice.
Following your passing and cremation, your ashes are added to the Biodegradable Urn with the seed of your tree of choice and plated.
This allows your ashes to become part of nature as the tree grows and leaves a lasting physical memory for your loved ones.
Scattering your ashes in space
Your ashes can now be sent, via Aura Flights, to the very edge of space. The memorial package offers a launch from just outside Sheffield that can be attended by family, friends and loved ones. Your ashes will be placed in a scattering vessel and carried around the world on stratospheric winds, encircling the globe and joining with the Earth’s atmosphere over the following weeks and months before finally returning to Earth in raindrops and snowflakes.
A live video can be set up of the launch, for those that are unable to attend,
When the launch is complete, your loved ones will receive a memorial video and flight certificate with details of the launch.
Becoming part of a Memorial Reef
Your ashes could be placed into a Solace Stone and transported to an artificial Reef Sanctuary. This can be done in a memorial ceremony with up to 12 loved ones. Once complete your loved ones will receive a certificate of placement.
The Solace Stone encapsulating your ashes will become part of the Reef’s future growth and be home to a haven of marine life.
We are not affiliated with any of the companies that offer the above services but we do think it is important that our clients are aware of all the options that are available to them. It is important that your loved ones know exactly what you want to happen following your passing and we are always happy to help, whatever the request!
If you do have specific wishes, we would always recommend that these are included within your Will but please ensure that your loved ones are aware…sometimes the Will isn’t read until the funeral arrangements have already taken place.
