Ways to Remember

We know that you’ll never forget them, and that it’s important to keep their memory alive as you go through your experience of grief. We’ve been helping families for over 100 years through the loss of their loved ones, and we’re always looking for ways we can help after the funeral.

We’ve lots of traditional ways to remember them; our masonry team can make any headstone or plaque to give you a special place to visit, we’ve got ashes urns in lots of designs to keep them close to you or inter them somewhere that mattered to them, and we’ve partners who make ashes into glass keepsakes or pieces of jewellery. Our team can chat with you and will help you find an option that feels right.

As funerals change, the ways we remember can change too. For those who want to leave a positive mark on the environment, we can plant a tree in their name, and you can even visit it, if you like. We’ve also found a partner who will name a star after the person who’s died. 

We’ve made a list of other unique ways to remember someone:

• Whilst you’ll never forget them, we’ve some lovely ways to remember that special person, including candles and candle holders, photo frames cuddle cushions and keepsake boxes. To see the range of products, visit our memorial keepsake website.
• Sending them off in style within a firework  you can put their ashes into a firework and create a really memorable way to celebrate them.
• Press the ashes of your person into a vinyl record. For the music lovers, you can choose their favourite song, record a message and listen to them long after they’re gone.
• Paint their ashes into a picture. Cremation painting blends their ashes with paint and creates a unique piece of art to keep them with you.
• Get a tattoo with their ashes. Their ashes can be mixed with tattoo ink, keeping them with you and part of you forever.
• Turning their clothes into a teddy bear. Knowing what to do with their clothes can be difficult, but you can turn a favourite garment into a teddy bear to keep with you.

However you choose to remember them, we’re here to help, whenever you need us.
