In times of bereavement, deciding how, when and where to lay the ashes of our loved ones can be acutely challenging. Although undertaking this often complicated and expensive process can seem like the last thing we want to deal with when grieving, it’s important to make a choice that will honour the deceased – laying or burying cremated remains (the interment of ashes) in a tranquil and meaningful location can be one of the best ways to say goodbye, gain closure and enshrine the memory of our dearly departed.
Legal, financial and environmental challenges
Unfortunately, the process of laying ashes to rest is not cut and dry, and there are various factors to take into consideration; for instance, depending on where you wish to lay cremated remains, you may face tricky legal challenges (permits and approval may be required if you’re wishing to scatter or bury ashes in a park, public space, or domestic setting), while the associated costs and fees of cremation services can be prohibitive for many individuals and families – in fact, the York area is one of the most expensive places for a cremation in all of the UK, with the cost of an adult attendance service ranging from £880 to £1,710 at the time of writing.
Laying or burying ashes in a dedicated memorial woodland
Disregarding the red tape and potential financial difficulties often associated with cremation services and the interment of ashes, for many families, finding a suitable location to lay or bury cremated remains can be one of the biggest obstacles of all. Luckily, York residents can now make use of a beautiful, dedicated memorial woodland, located between Wiggington and Shipton-By-Beningbrough.
The Memory Tree Co offers families the chance to create a lasting tribute to their lost loved ones in a tranquil and serene woodland environment, with visitors able to access a dedicated tree whenever they wish to remember or reflect on the lives of their dearly departed. Specific trees for laying or burying ashes can be selected ahead of time, with a range of beautiful native and ornamental trees to choose from including Aspen, Sweet Chestnut, Willow, Beech, Black Walnut, and Cherry. For a cost-effective single fee (starting at just £495), individuals and families can rest safe in the knowledge that their dedicated tree will be fully maintained and left to flourish in a safe, secure and private setting for many years to come.
