However, please note before you do so that you must gain permission from the landowner or local authority first.

Scattering ashes over water

The River Severn running through the centre of Worcester is ideal for those wishing to scatter ashes over the water. You could scatter from the river bank or from the historic Worcester Bridge.

Scattering ashes in nature

Natural green spaces where you could choose to scatter ashes include the landscaped Gheluvelt Park to the north of Worcester town centre or Worcester Woods Country Park to the east.

Very helpful, professional service, would recommend
Anonymous, on Feefo 7 Oct 2024
We used Distinct Cremations when a local provider asked us to call back the following day as they were too busy! Distinct could not be faulted from initial contact throughout the whole procedure leading up to the cremation and beyond. We have no hesitation in recommending this company, in fact we have already spread the word to friends and family.

Nobody likes to deal with things like funerals etc but all i can say is how wonderful everybody was at Distinct Cremations.Nothing was too much trouble,everything was explained clearly and in a very professional manner,most of all just great people to deal with.
Toni Stevens, on Google 29 Sep 2024
During this difficult time the staff at Distinct Cremations have been exemplary. They provided an immediate considerate service, kept me well updated at every point. I had a problem with the doctor’s certificate and they even contacted the surgery on my behalf multiple times to resolve the issue. The ashes were returned promptly with lots of notice by a member of their own team. Honestly I can’t recommend them enough, they served my dad with dignity.
