Scattering family/loved one's ashes.

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I've recently been thinking about scattering my mum's ashes. Some of you are aware of me mentioning her passing last Sunday. She is being creamated but never said if she wants her ashes(or some of) scattering or not.

My dad died in 2004 and didn't say either but i dug a hole at the end of a fishing pond we fished together and and planted a tree there. Glad to say the tree has grown and is around 15ft high now. Dad would have definitely appreciated that i think.

I will bury some of mum's ashes in her garden and other family members may want to keep some in a urn.

Just wondering where you scattered or buried your loved one's ashes?

My Dad's wishes were for his ashes to be scattered into the Thames off the Woolwich Ferry. He spent his childhood growing up in Woolwich & spent loads of time on the ferry going backwards & forwards playing football on the deck with his mates.
My Mum packed some of his ashes into biodegradable boxes and she, myself & my sister's threw them off the ferry as requested. In typical fashion for my Dad, the ashes didn't sink & we had to leave them bobbing around on the Thames.

Nice tale that pal. Your dad got his wishes so that's good. Been on Woolwich ferry several times over the years but it's not somewhere I'd want, each to their own though.

What about The Garden of Remembrance at The Etihad Stadium.
Then every time you attend a game you will bring back memories of your Mum.

Condolences to you BMR - thoughts are with you.
My late wife was cremated and I bought a plot at the local cemetery with a grave stone.
It’s nice to visit there when I can. To me it’s better than casting them into the wind.
I also used a very small portion of the ashes to have two cremation tattoos.

I take it you are replying to me mate as your didn't quote. That would have been a fantastic idea for my dad as he was a blue, but I'm not sure it existed in 2004. However, my mum had no interest in football and if I scattered her ashes there it would be for my own selfish reasons, not what she would have really liked or appreciated had she been asked i think.

Condolences mate, I lost my brother suddenly at 56 last month and this is the same dilemma that his partner Sara has

One thing’s for sure.. Our kid’s ashes won’t be being scattered at the Etihad.. I mentioned that they had a garden of remembrance but after visiting it while at the City Store last week I was gobsmacked at what a disgusting state it’s in.. There were so many ashes there that it looked like a beach… Really not what I envisaged for him

I’d love it if the club would offer the ability to put a small plaque on his seat (which I’m in the process of transferring to my son) as that would be a great reminder for us when we attend games

I think we’ll end up planting a tree somewhere and scatter Simon’s ashes there… Then we’ve always got a place to go and contemplate his life

Perhaps you could scatter some ashes near your Dad's tree.

We scattered Mum's ashes in a country park where she enjoyed walking
My dad did the scattering as my brother and I watched on. He threw the ashes up in the air into a headwind and was covered. Me and my brother were laughing our heads off at Mum's revenge
We buried my Dad's ashes at a cemetery, with the headstone being for him and mum

Hiya buddy.

Have you considered partially using some to create a jewel of some sort?

That way you can take your Mum places she may never have been and she's always with you?

Just a thought.

We scattered my mums and my father in laws in a little stream that ran past their house. 10 minutes with just immediate family. Plain and simple.
I have a feeling one of my relatives had their scattered on Ewood Park, BRFC many moons ago.

I scattered some of my Dads ashes on Ten Acres Rec behind the house he grew up in (Staplehurst rd).
Some on the pitch at City's ground, some in the memorial garden and a little bit on various beaches across the Caribbean (he was a sun worshiper).
Still have some in my sock drawer in a crown Royal bag.

So sorry to hear that.

Just scatter them in places where she enjoyed being or where held nice memories for her or in places where you had good times together. Some of my mums are at Hollingworth Lake.

My sister in law still has my mother in law's ashes in her garage.

Scattered my Dads ashes on Prestatyn beach last year. Practically grew up, there summers and weekends at the caravan. I think he would have appreciated it.

Thanks pal. Mum was 89 and lived a full happy life until the last 2 years when she started having several falls. Sorry to hear about you losing 56 year old brother, that's no age. I lost one of my best mate's from cancer aged 57 only 15 months ago so i empathise with your loss.

A small plaque is a great idea and something i think you should ask the club. They can say no but they may say yes. As for planting a tree and scattering the ashes, it will hopefully be there a long time so people can go and visit where Simon's ashes are.

Hi pal. My eldest daughter recently mentioned ashes being made into jewellery pieces, something i was unaware of. I think she'd like some of her grandma's ashes made into jewellery or an ornament as a keep sake. Have you seen any ashes jewellery, Bigga?

The daughter wanted somewhere to visit, so like yourself we purchased a family grave plot and layed our grandson to rest with a headstone.

At his internment of ashes we felt we were reliving the funeral all over again, so when our son died we decided to take him home in a wooden casket, and in our lounge he'll stay until the time of our demise.

Mum died in April. Will take he back to arbroath and scatter ashes on family plot which is full. Any thing left will go in the north sea. When dad died a while back we put him in garden, not sure how much we transferred to a planter when mum downsized.
