Do you have the ashes of a loved one that you are still not sure what to do with? Maybe because you are waiting for a special moment/to find the right place, or because you and your family just can’t decide.

The Sunday Times Magazine is writing a long, sensitive article about the scattering of ashes and how it is becoming more popular. But also how many families find it hard to make a decision about what to do with the ashes. The award-winning journalist, Harry Wallop, is looking for a few ‘case studies’ who are happy to chat to him, and appear in the Magazine, including being photographed. It will be a chance to talk about your loved one, but also the strange, sometimes odd, way that we deal with death in the UK.

If you are willing to take part, or want to find out more, please contact Harry on 07779 245 or hwallop@gmail.com

A touching tribute using our Living Memorial Soil 💚 One family held a quiet mixing ceremony for their dad’s ashes, followed by planting a beautiful olive tree — a nod to his love of olives and red wine.

We’re so honoured to have helped create something meaningful in memory of a much-loved mum. These beautiful hollow Robins were chosen as keepsakes by two sisters, each filled at home with a small portion of ashes.

💬 "These Robins are just perfect. My mum loved Robins too, so it felt right. Quick replies, fast delivery, and truly beautiful craftsmanship."

Thank you so much for trusting us at such an emotional time. ❤️

🚤 Do I need a boat to scatter ashes at sea?

Not always. Many of our customers choose quiet spots along rivers, estuaries, or beaches for their ceremonies.

Some walk out with wellies. Others hire a small boat. A few simply let go from a jetty with close family.

There’s no right way—just your way.

If you’re unsure, we’re always here to help.

We work with over 80 independent boat companies that you can book here. https://scattering-ashes.co.uk/boat-map-uk/

Having never bought anything like this before I’m not sure what I was expecting - it has superseded my expectations.

Thank you for your help and to the lady who helped sort out my order..”

Our Story

Richard set up Scattering Ashes in 2010 with the sole aim of helping people to celebrate the lives of their loved one. People may write a will and say that they want to be cremated but what do you do with the ashes? You could gather friends and family together for a simple ashes ceremony in a favourite spot or on a boat. Or you could send them into space, set them alight on a Viking Longboat or have a firework display. We are here to help you choose a suitable way to remember your loved one, whatever you choose to do.

As an award-winning family business based in Devon, we will always go the extra mile to help you memorialise your partner, your family member, or your friend in the best possible way.

Our website has loads of helpful and informative advice about what you can and cannot do with cremation ashes. Our Amazon 5 star rated guide book also has lots of useful tips about ashes and how to have a really good ceremony.

We'll guide you through the journey making sure you have a truly memorable ceremony #4thceremony
