Welcome to The Midcounties Co-operative funeralcare

Cremated Remains

Scattering of Cremated Remains:

You can choose for your loved ones Cremated Remains to be scattered, buried or kept in a casket. Because scattering and burial are final, we strongly recommend you allow time to consider all the options and discuss it with your family.

You can usually scatter Cremated Remains:

  • In the grounds of the crematorium
  • On a family grave
  • In a woodland or moorland
  • At a place with fond memories
  • At sea
  • Abroad

Your Midcounties Co-operative funeral director will be able to advise who you need to speak to when making the arrangements.

Burial of Cremated Remains

People who bury Cremated Remains do so for a variety of reasons. For instance, so they can visit the burial site, they can erect a memorial at the site or perhaps so that the Cremated Remains of more than one family can be placed together.

You can usually bury Cremated Remains:

  • In the grounds of the crematorium
  • In a churchyard
  • In an existing grave
  • In a new cremation plot in a designated area of a cemetery or churchyard
Keeping the Cremated Remains

Some people prefer to keep the Cremated Remains at home in a casket designed for that purpose. In some cases this is so that when a spouse or partner dies, the remains of both can be scattered or buried together. You can view a sample of our range of Cremated Remains Caskets by clicking here.

Other options for keeping Cremated Remains are to divide amongst family members or to place in a piece of jewellery, for example, in a specially designed locket.

Your local Midcounties Co-operative funeralcare funeral arranger will be able to advise you on the options available.
