/ Advice / What to do with a persons ashes

What to do with a person’s ashes

Knowing what to do with the ashes of a loved one who hasn’t planned for their death is hard.


We make that decision easier by giving you time to come to terms with your loss, consider the options and figure out what they would have wanted. During this time you can place their ashes in a niche for a short term and renew that term until you’re ready.


When the time is right, you can take them to their final resting place.
Common resting places include:


Scattering ashes

Some people choose to scatter a person’s ashes in a place of significance or somewhere they would love.
