Alternative Goodbyes

Fireworks

Celebrate the life of your loved one by releasing some of their cremated remains in a firework.

Ashes into space

Immortalise your loved one forever by releasing some of their cremated remains in space.

Balloon release

Organise a balloon release at the end of the funeral service. Each balloon will have a blank card tied on with a ribbon. Personal messages may be written on the blank cards. The balloons, ribbons and cards are biodegradable.

Steam train

Arrange for your loved one’s cremated remains to be scattered by a steam locomotive from one of the many heritage railways located throughout the UK.

Ashes at sea

Did your loved one have a strong connection with the sea? Celebrate their life by scattering their cremated remains on the water or placing the ashes into a biodegradable urn or casket. This will break down over time and not cause any damage to the environment.

Dove release

The release of doves at a funeral can be both a touching and significant marker of the occasion as they symbolise peace, hope, faith and love. A peaceful and healing tribute to your loved one.

Memorial tree

A memorial tree can be planted and personalised in remembrance of your loved one, as a lasting symbol of their life. It offers family and friends a place to visit and feel a sense of closeness.
