Post-cremation memorialisation

Expired cremation niches

Ashes can be placed in a cremation niche at the crematorium for up to a 20 year period. As and when the lease period ends we will endeavour to contact the lease owner to advise them the lease is due to expire and assist them to make alternative arrangements i.e. the lease can be extended, ashes collected by family or they can be scattered in the Gardens of Remembrance.

On rare occasions, we are not able to locate the registered leaseholder as they may have moved address or they themselves may have passed away. If our attempts to locate family have failed, to ensure the continued dignity and respect of a loved one is maintained we will arrange for the ashes to be scattered in the Gardens of Remembrance as a final resting place.

This list details ashes currently being held by Bereavement Services due to a niche lease having ended.

All standard processes followed to locate family members have failed. As a result, arrangements will be made for the ashes to be scattered in the Gardens of Remembrance in due course.

Notice of intention to scatter

If Bereavement Services do not receive direct instruction from family members within three months of the date of entry of the deceased on the spreadsheet attached below the ashes will be scattered and the location recorded for future reference.
