With Distinct Cremations, you have the choice of having your loved one's ashes hand delivered to you by our attentive team or having the ashes scattered at the Garden of Rememberance next to the crematorium. Both are included at no extra charge. The choice is yours.
As part of our service, the delivery of your loved one's ashes is included at no extra cost, whether you're having an unattended or attended funeral.
Once the cremation has taken place, our compassionate team will liaise with you to decide on the best time and date for delivery, and from there it's up to you to decide how you'd like to commemorate your loved one.
Here's a step by step process of how it works.
Readying the ashes
Once the cremation has taken place, our team will ready the ashes in an ashes container for delivery. If you wish, you can choose something a little more decorative upon request.
Arranging the delivery
Within 14 days of the cremation, our team will call to arrange a time and date that suits you to hand deliver the ashes to the location of your choice. Don't worry, we'll work around you.
Hand delivery of the ashes
After liaising with you, our team will hand deliver the ashes at the date and time you requested, in the ashes container you requested. From here, you can choose what you would like to do with the ashes.
Commemorating your loved one
Each family commemorates their loved one differently. Sometimes ashes are scattered somewhere meaningful, others turn the ashes into a keepsake, while some families keep the ashes in the ashes container and make it the centrepiece of a memorial service. You can read about memorial service ideas.
All our crematoriums feature purpose-designed gardens of remembrance, full of greenery and surrounded by beautiful views where you can commemorate your loved one.
Set back from the memorial grounds and crematoria buildings, our garden of remembrance offer tranquil spaces in beautiful surroundings for remembering those no longer with us. Designed as a place to think and grieve, many find our gardens the ideal place to scatter their loved ones' ashes and say their final goodbyes.
You can visit the crematorium to scatter the ashes in our gardens, or we can perform it on your behalf.
Readying the ashes
Once the cremation has taken place, our team will ready the ashes and store them.
Your options
You may want to scatter or bury the ashes in the garden of remembrance yourself and our team at the crematorium will be happy to help you with this process.
Or if you prefer, you can have the ashes scattered or buried on your behalf by one of our caring team. The decision is completely up to you.
The scattering or burying of the ashes
