Scattering of ashes in a cherished location

Popular Locations for Ashes Scattering

Coastal Areas

The UK’s coastline offers numerous picturesque spots for scattering ashes. Whether it’s the rugged cliffs of Cornwall, the serene beaches of Norfolk, or the dramatic shores of Scotland, the sea provides a timeless and tranquil setting.

Lakes and Waterways

Lakes and waterways offer serene and reflective settings for ashes scattering ceremonies. Whether it’s the tranquil waters of the Lake District, the serene Lochs of Scotland, or the peaceful canals of England, these locations provide a calm and soothing environment for your farewell. You might choose to scatter the ashes from a boat or along the shore, incorporating elements like floating flowers or candles to add a personal touch to the ceremony.

Public Gardens

Public gardens, such as Kew Gardens in London or the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh, offer peaceful and beautifully maintained environments perfect for a reflective ceremony.

Scenic Hills

For those who loved the great outdoors, scattering ashes atop a scenic hill or mountain can be incredibly moving. Locations like the Lake District, the Peak District, and the Brecon Beacons provide stunning backdrops for a final farewell. Or both the North and South Downs offer some stunning settings.
