Sometimes, very well meaning, friends will give advice such as ‘it’s time to move on’ or ‘you’ll feel better if you scatter/bury them’. But only you will know how you feel about the loss of your loved one and only you will know when and if the time is right to do something else with the ashes.Splitting the ashesAs long as there are no religious reasons it is worthwhile thinking about keeping some of your loved one’s ashes, you can scatter or bury most of the ashes on a favourite walk perhaps, or at sea or on a favourite beach, but keep a small amount back to memorialise when you are ready. This will give you more time to decide what you want to do as your feelings may change over time.The ProcessWhen you purchase an ashes into glass ornament we will send you a pack with everything you need to send a small amount – a teaspoon of ashes per item – securely to us.
