Walk through a British Crematorium: a lovely authentic video

The video below is really nice walk through a crematorium here in the UK, the video appeared in article written for the Plymouth Herald in Devon and features Karen Jennings, the council’s bereavement service manager. The video is under five minutes and what I loved about it is that it isn’t some super polished corporate video with cut aways and sound effects. It is one lady talking to you,  from the front of house to behind the scenes at Plymouth Crematoria. It is genuine and for me give a lovely overview, dispelling some of the nonsense and myth that crematoria tend to generate.

Here is the full article, in fact it is so full of ‘good stuff’ I think it will make the subject of another post….

We have been blogging and writing on the subject of ashes for a several years now, and we have produced  a lot of guidance on what people could do with ashes. However, until now we have only had this information available on the website and our booklet*.

The good news is we have taken the main points and put them into a small 4 sided guidance note that we are making free to funeral directors, celebrants, hospices, bereavement counsellors to be able to give out.

The guide highlights the major issues that people might not have thought of, it also address issue most people are concerned, lastly it lists some of the options available to them concerning what can be done with the ashes: from fireworks and ashes into jewellery, to keeping the ashes in a garden sculpture or sending them off ablaze in a replica viking boat!

The guide is intended to help bereaved families feel confident choices in memorialising their loved one.

If you are interested in receiving a sample or a batch just let us know: info@scattering-ashes.co.uk or call us on 01392581012

Name: Rachel Henderson

Area covered: Devon

The celebrant:

Together we can create the funeral, memorial or ash scattering ceremony you would like, for the person you love, that reflects and celebrates their life and is personal, heartfelt and meaningful.

Whether you would like to include spiritual content, a little, or none, I can assist you to ensure that the service we create together honours the life of the person who has died. We can include readings, music and tributes, but there are no set rules, and we can make your ceremony as individual and unique as we all are.

In general, I will meet with you for a couple of hours to plan the service but will continue to keep in touch right up until the day of the ceremony. We will work together to ensure all detail is correct at every stage. For practical purposes, the majority of the funerals, memorials and other ceremonies I conduct are in Devon.

I was trained and by the Fellowship of Independent Celebrants (FOIC)

This can sometimes be difficult for family or friends to co-ordinate, especially if they are overseas. Do you need permission? How do you arrange the transportation of the ashes?

Your loved one’s ashes will be treated with the greatest of respect at all times. You will receive a picture of the ashes scattering service along with a certificate with the exact location so that you or future generations can visit at a later date. The certificate is included in the price, you can add a other ceremony items such as petals or seedballs for a small additional price. We can even arrange to have them scattering on water, for our boat service see this link.

Training Course: Scattering or Interring of Cremated Remains

Training Course. There is a growing trend for funerals to focus on the ashes element of the ceremony which is a very positive development. However, often those doing the scattering will have received little or no formal training. A small investment in staff training will have two major benefits, it will increase personal development for every trainee, and will provide a better customer service for your families.

Scattering Ashes has teamed up with Civil Ceremonies Ltd , the market leaders in ceremonies in the UK, to offer the first nationwide accredited training course on scattering or interring of ashes.

The course aims to enable cremation staff to create and deliver a personal ceremony for families who are scattering or interring cremated remains.

The course will include:

  • How to interview a bereaved family to obtain the information required to create a ceremony.
  • Creation of an appropriate and bespoke ceremony for mourners that encourages appropriate participation and the use of poetry and verse,
  • How to organise the mourners,
  • How to strew and scatter the ashes in a dignified and culturally appropriate way,
  • How to deliver an ashes ceremony and support mourners.

Accreditation
Participants who successfully complete the one day course will be awarded with a level one course credit value 1 from the issuing body ONE Awards. This is a government approved training scheme which provides access to HE diplomas.

Who should attend?
This course is designed for persons and organisations who are looking to deliver a more professional service around the scattering or interning of ashes, and for organisations interested in staff development.

Size: Small groups up to a maximum of 10 attendees

Duration: full day

Course Location

Devon: The course is delivered here in Devon in a beautiful location on the edge of Dartmoor. We can also provide good value accommodation and excellent locally sourced meals for a small additional sum tailored specifically to your needs and dietary requirements. We can provide meals & accommodation, from a simple lunch to an overnight stay with Bistro dining experience. Please contact us for the full range of options.
Cost: £185pp*

On site: We are very happy to come to your premises and deliver training directly to your staff on site using your specific location and premises. We require a minimum of 6 people per course.
Cost: £185pp*
