Ashes - What are my options

Exploring Your Options for Ashes: Scatter Tubes, Caskets, and Beyond

Losing a loved one is a profound experience, and choosing what to do with their ashes can be a deeply personal decision. At Quantock Funeral Directors, we understand the importance of offering a range of options to honour your loved one's memory. In this guide, we'll explore the various options available for ashes, from scatter tubes to biodegradable boxes and beyond.

Scatter Tubes:

Scatter tubes are a popular choice for those who wish to scatter their loved one's ashes in a meaningful location. These tubes come in a variety of designs and themes, allowing you to personalise the farewell experience. From serene landscapes to vibrant floral motifs, there's a scatter tube to suit every taste and preference.

Ashes Caskets:

For those who prefer to keep their loved one's ashes close by, ashes caskets offer a dignified and beautiful solution. These caskets come in a range of materials, including wood, metal, and biodegradable options. Whether you prefer a traditional design or something more modern and minimalist, there's an ashes casket to suit your needs.

Biodegradable Boxes:

Many crematoriums provide ashes in biodegradable boxes, which are designed to break down naturally over time. These eco-friendly options are perfect for those who wish to return their loved one's ashes to the earth in a sustainable way. Biodegradable boxes can be buried or placed in a natural setting, allowing your loved one to become part of the cycle of life once more.

Ashes Jewellery:

For a truly unique way to keep your loved one close, consider having their ashes transformed into jewellery. From pendants and bracelets to rings and earrings, there are endless possibilities for creating a piece that is both beautiful and meaningful. Ashes jewellery allows you to carry a part of your loved one with you wherever you go, keeping their memory alive in a tangible way.

Scatter or Inter:

Finally, you may choose to scatter your loved one's ashes in a special location or inter them in a cemetery or memorial garden. Whether you opt for scattering or interment, it's important to choose a location that holds significance for you and your family. This could be a favourite park, beach, or garden, or a dedicated cemetery plot, necessary permissions will of course need to be granted.
