Welcome to The Midcounties Co-operative funeralcare
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 RemainsPeople 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
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.
