Direct Cremations
A Meaningful Goodbye Through Scattering and Interment Services
Direct cremations have become an increasingly popular choice across the world and in the UK. This simple and dignified option offers families a way to say goodbye to their loved ones without the need for a traditional funeral service. However, while direct cremation offers a practical solution, it can sometimes leave families and friends without the opportunity for a meaningful farewell—something that feels personal, heartfelt, and comforting.
At Aerial Ashes, we believe that a final tribute should be as unique and special as the person being remembered. That's why we offer scattered ashes and interment services to help families honour their loved ones in a way that feels meaningful, personalised, and full of love.
The Growing Popularity of Direct Cremation
Direct cremation is becoming an increasingly popular choice for many families in the UK, with more people choosing simplicity and cost-effectiveness over traditional funeral services. It allows for the immediate cremation of the deceased without a formal funeral ceremony, with the ashes typically returned to the family for private commemoration. This choice can reduce the emotional and financial burden associated with traditional funerals, making it an appealing option for many.
While direct cremation provides a simple, streamlined process, it can leave families without the closure and emotional comfort that a memorial or farewell ceremony can bring. The lack of an organised service can make it harder for families to gather together, celebrate the life of their loved one, and say a final goodbye in a way that reflects the uniqueness of their relationship.
The Power of Scattering and Interment Services
Our scattering ashes and interment services offer families the opportunity to fill the emotional gap left by a direct cremation. These services allow loved ones to say goodbye in a personalised, heartfelt way, surrounded by the beauty of nature and in a location that holds special meaning. Whether at a cherished family spot, a place of personal significance, or simply a place of peace, scattering ashes creates an opportunity for a unique and memorable farewell.
Our services provide:
- Personalised Memorials: We work with families to select a meaningful location for the scattering, whether it's a tranquil beach, a peaceful field, or a spot in the countryside that brings comfort.
- A Private Moment for Reflection: With our drone-based scattering services, families can choose to gather together and witness the final tribute. Live streaming options also allow those who can’t attend in person to join in the ceremony virtually.
- A Lasting Tribute: We offer a commemorative video of the ceremony, capturing the moment and preserving the memories for generations to come.
