Some people, for their own personal reasons, do not want a funeral ceremony.  Or, they have had a funeral and are afterwards ready to scatter their dear one’s ashes with only the closest family and/or friends.

To scatter the ashes, with no words of love or farewell ritual can leave people feeling a little flat.  This is where an Ashes Scattering Ceremony can help.

It doesn’t need to be long.  It can be as simple as the reading of a favourite poem.  The playing of a favourite song.  Someone singing.  A few words spoken about the loved one, to bring them to mind.

For many people, the grief is too much to allow for speech.  This is where your chosen celebrant steps in and says all you wish to say, on your behalf, leaving you free to let go.

This type of farewell ceremony ensures the scattering of the ashes is not an abrupt end, but rather a soft, sweet send-off.  And it helps the grieving to achieve closure.  A lovely, respectful way to say goodbye.
