Scattering family/loved one's ashes.

[BimboBob]

Have you considered using some to do a line?

:)

I've had a taste. It's just ash...

It was our late Uncles wishes to have his ashes scattered in North Wales, as that was his favourite holiday resort.
We duly obliged and his ashes went into the sea but not after a bastard wind carried a lot of it back onto myself,missus my sister and my Mum !
We couldn`t stop laughing and Mum also said Tom (her brother) had a great sense of humour. I swear that is a true story.

Hope you are ok as can be BMR?

My brother passed away 42 years ago last week aged 21.
My parents scattered his ashes by this small tree in the crematorium. When my dad passed away 2007, we found out the tree had grown so large they had to cut it down. My dad's ashes were scattered around the site of the tree, as was my mum's 3 years ago.

I'm doing ok mate. And thamks for the PM it's good of you. Morrissey is ace btw; )

Also the others that PM'd me and quoted me, once again much appreciated. Cheers blues: )

We recently scattered my FIL's ashes on the East Lancs railroad. Very classily done, when we stopped at Irwell Vale, we had a minutes silence for the big fella, and then his ashes were added to the furnace and out over the Pennines. The staff of ELR couldn't have been kinder, not sure how many people know about this service, I thought it was a great send off for a lovely fella.

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

Not soaking up the oil drips...?

We took my dads ashes back to Ireland, and buried them in his mum and dads grave

All my family have been buried but, unless I can get a burial plot at Vyšehrad cemetery (very unlikely), I've instructed my wife/kids to scatter my ashes in a couple of my favourite places in Prague,.

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?

still got my mum at my dads in a urn.

Not sure what we want to do with her, I wanted to get some jewellery made out of her ashes. My dad wants to scatter her.

My grandad was scattered in two locations, Dukinfield crem and near a donkey sanctuary in Cyprus. We have thought of scattering my mum there.

My mums now been dead now 17 months and we are still unsure what to do, I would take your time with the decision you make.

Just seen this mate. Genuinely sorry to hear about your mum. Best wishes and I hope you are
Ok. If you need a fishing trip to get away give us a shout.

I took my brother in laws ashes to scatter at a well used site and was amazed to see so many piles of ashes that seemed to be just tipped out in a way that bore no relation to scattering,

Finally getting round to spreading the ashes of my mum & brother this weekend at the memorial garden, it’s been a long 10 months since my mum passed.
Throughout my brother’s illness, City were unbelievably supportive and cannot thank them enough.
Closure on Sunday will be a huge step forward with 4th, 5th and 6th generation Blues present.

My Dad's ashes were placed there in 2017.
It's apparently what he wanted and I think for my 4 half brothers (2 of whom are rags) it was their last act of love. Hope it gives you and your family peace xx

I was very taken with a film I saw in the 70’s, where the dead airmen of a crashed WW2 airplane had to stay near their remains (Sole Survivor) So my Dad was scattered in several favourite places in the hope, if that’s the case, he can pop between them all. Plus you get a hell of a lot of ashes from a cremation, so good to distribute them about!

My Mum died in 2008, we paid for a Rose Tree in the memorial garden at Manchester Crematorium where her Ashes are scattered. My Dad died in March of this year, as per his wishes his Ashes will be Scattered in the same plot this week.
Manchester Crematorium do an excellent job of maintaining the memorial gardens. As the only family member still living in Manchester and fairly close to the gardens, I go at least once a month to lay flowers.

 

[give it to gordon]

Both my parents want the crematorium to deal with ashes.
The thinking behind it was they didnt want us to feel it necessary to visit a certain place to remember them.
I have no idea where they ashes are and to be honest it has never bothered me.

No disrespect to anybody’s human relatives but three of my much loved dogs had their ashes scattered in the sea at a favourite walking place. I say hello when walking the current pair.

I’ve instructed my next of kin that mine will follow In the same spot.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Sorry for your loss mate.
:(


A close friend of mine wanted his ashes scattered by the river bank in Bakewell as that's where he met his wife for the first time.

As we did it the wind blew it back into the literal bank and a goose walked over and took a dump on them. With his sense of humour we wondered if he's planned that.

My brothers ashes are going to be scattered at a beach in cornwall, we loved it as a kid and he has taken all of his family there over the years , his request to go there

 

[Keeper!]

My Dad was old school, worked hard all his life and lived until 94 last year.

He insisted to me and my brother that his ashes be put in an egg timer so he could "still bloody work" even in death!
