Remembrance

There are a number of ways in which you and others may wish to record the death, in remembrance.

You may wish to record the person's name in a Book of Remembrance at the crematorium, cemetery or church, or have a book of condolence.

Your choice will be what is right for the person, their family and community. Nowadays many people make individual choices about how the death will be recorded, or remembered for the future.

If a cremation take place, you will be asked to decide where you would like the ashes to be buried or scattered. It can happen at the crematorium or a place of your choice.

There is no hurry to decide what to do with the ashes. They can be kept by the undertaker at the crematorium or by you. If you decide to bury the ashes it is possible to put a head stone on the place where they are buried.

If a burial takes place then there is the place of burial to visit in the future, and you could put a head stone on the grave.
