Memorial Ideas After Cremation

After a cremation, many families look for a meaningful way to remember their loved one and create somewhere to feel close to them. Here are gentle memorial ideas after cremation to consider, in your own time.

A special resting place

Some scatter ashes in a place that mattered; others keep them in a beautiful urn at home, or divide a small amount into keepsakes so several family members can hold a part of them.

A memorial to visit

Without a graveside, having somewhere to go can be a comfort. A memorial plaque in the garden or on a shelf gives remembrance a home. A QR memorial plaque links that spot to an online tribute of their whole life.

A living memorial

Planting a tree, rose or favourite flower creates a place that grows and returns each year — a quiet, living reminder.

Keep their story safe

Gather photographs, videos and memories into an online memorial, so their story is never lost and the whole family can add to it over the years.
