Ashes Scattering Near Chester and Manchester – A Peaceful Farewell in the North West

Saying goodbye to a loved one is never easy – but choosing the right location can make all the difference. At Aerial Ashes, we recently helped a family with ashes scattering in the tranquil countryside between Chester and Manchester. The ceremony was as beautiful as it was meaningful, offering peace and dignity to the family.

Ashes Scattering in the North West?

The North West of England is home to some of the UK’s most serene and scenic landscapes. Between the River Dee near Chester, the rolling Cheshire Plains, and the peaceful canals and parks near Manchester, there’s no shortage of stunning locations to honour a loved one’s memory through ashes scattering.

Drone ceremonies provide a respectful and unique way to say farewell – reaching places that may be difficult for traditional methods while creating a memorable tribute from above.

The Ceremony

We began with a weather check one week in advance and stayed in touch with the family throughout. On the day, the skies were clear over the Cheshire countryside. Our drone team arrived early, carried out safety checks, and met with the family to walk through the final steps.

The family gathered for reflection, with a poem reading and a meaningful song. The ashes were gently released high above the trees, drifting into the breeze while loved ones watched from a quiet footpath below – a touching and personal farewell.

Where Can We Scatter Ashes Legally?

Families often ask about legality. In the UK, ashes can be scattered on private land with the landowner’s permission, or in rivers, seas, and open countryside as long as there’s no environmental harm. For further details, see this helpful article from Co-op Funeralcare.
