Interment of Ashes

---

An interment of ashes can be held at a local cemetery or on private land. You can, if you wish, hold a service prior in a church or venue of your choosing before the interment. 

You do not need to involve a Funeral Director for an interment of ashes, but if you wish for our assistance we will be honoured to assist. 

Below are details of the procedure:

Cemetery

• Contact the local council, arrange a date and time.
• You are required to sign the application form which is issued by the local council or cemetery owner.
• You will need to give the Certificate of Cremation to the cemetery owner. 
• Ashes can be interred in a family lair.
• If you do not have an existing lair, you will need to purchase a new lair. 
• The council will open the lair on the chosen day.
• Once the Ashes have been interred you may wish to add your loved ones name to the existing stone or erect a new stone.

Private land

• Interment of ashes on private land is legal as long as you have the landowner’s permission. 
• You will have to arrange with the land owner to open the ground for the interment.
