Huge thanks to all at Scattering Ashes
Everyone at Scattering Ashes is so kind and thoughtful, it felt good to be dealing with such sympathetic and helpful people. When the moment came we placed the urn gently in the water from the side of the canal. It sank within a few seconds, and from the tiny holes at the base arose a drift of bubbles which we watched until they faded away. It was very beautiful and peaceful.

Thank you so much for sharing this. We’re really pleased you felt supported and cared for while making the arrangements.
The moment you describe sounds incredibly peaceful, and the bubbles rising from the urn are such a gentle part of the ceremony. It means a great deal to know everything came together in a way that felt beautiful and right for you.

Beautiful Tribute
The whole experience felt very personal. I received an emailed once the ashes were received & when the robins were ready & dispatched. They arrived on time & were well packaged. I ordered 3 and they are beautiful, a perfect size & feel lovely in your hand. My Mum loved robins so these are the perfect memorial. I only wish I had known about this site when my Dad died.

Thank you for sharing this. Sending ashes away is a big step, and we want you to feel reassured at every stage, so I’m glad the updates helped. It’s lovely to hear all three robins arrived safely and feel just right in the hand, and knowing how much your Mum loved robins, it means a lot that they feel like the perfect memorial. I’m sorry you didn’t know about us when your Dad died, and I hope the robins bring you comfort..
Very pretty scatter tube
I ordered a scatter tube from this company as I couldn’t bear for my loved one to come back to me in an environmentally friendly shoe box. We suffered an unexpected sudden loss and I didn’t want my son to be further traumatised when she was returned to us.This was the perfect solution, it arrived quickly and very carefully packaged and made me feel that someone cared about our loss. She is back with us looking lovely in this until such time as we are ready to scatter her. Thoughtful company, professional service and timely arrival. Compassionate shopping experience during a difficult time. Would recommend

I’m so sorry for your sudden loss. It’s completely understandable that you wanted her to come home in something gentler, especially with your son in mind, and I’m glad the scatter tube felt right. Thank you for telling us it made you feel someone cared, because we truly do. There’s no rush to scatter. She can stay safely with you for as long as you need, and when the time feels right, we’re here if you need anything at all.

Quality water urn
We spent a long time choosing which water urn to order for our father's ashes and were very pleased with the quality of the product and the speedy delivery service. We chose the embossed urn in aqua blue which reminded us of the colour of the yacht he used to sail. We launched the urn from the beach in Studland Bay on a beautiful September morning, read our poems and scattered rose petals on the ebbing tide. It was very emotional and we were glad to have chosen this method rather than emptying a bag of ashes into the sea.

Thank you so much for sharing this. The aqua blue sounds like such a thoughtful choice, especially with the connection to your father’s yacht. Studland Bay on a September morning, with poems and rose petals, sounds like a beautiful and very personal farewell. We’re so pleased the urn helped the ceremony feel gentle and dignified, and that the quality and delivery gave you confidence beforehand.
Fabulous product
I am really pleased with the service. The journey water urn arrived very promptly. It was well packaged and beautifully wrapped. We bought it to take my parents' ashes, my dad having died 6 years ago and my mum on 8th May this year. They wanted to be together and the companion journey water urn enabled us to fulfil their wishes. We have just taken them to Lake Coniston for a final journey together as they loved the Lake District and wanted their ashes to be scattered there. The journey water urn stayed on the surface for a few moments and then sank into the lake leaving my rose petals on the surface while we had a few moments of reflection.
The Coniston launch staff were excellent, really supportive and looked after us brilliantly. I can wholeheartedly recommend both Scattering Ashes and the Coniston launch.

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful account of your parents’ final journey together. We’re truly honoured that the companion Journey Water Urn helped you fulfil their wishes in a place that meant so much to them.
The image of the urn resting briefly on Lake Coniston, with rose petals left on the surface while you had time to reflect, is very moving. We’re so pleased the ceremony felt peaceful and that the Coniston launch team looked after you so well.
Thank you for trusting us with such an important farewell, and for your very kind recommendation.
What a wonderful company to deal with
What a wonderful company to deal with. My husband passed away recently and I spoke with the lovely people at Scattering Ashes as I wanted two Pandora style beads for my self and my daughter. They are truly beautiful and I feel my hubby is with me every day. The company keep you informed every step of the way and treat your loved ones ashes with care returning any unused in a lovely pouch along with the charm and certificate of authenticity .
I have also ordered a Companion Petal for his ashes and am very excited to see that once it has been made. I would most certainly recommend Scattering Ashes.
Customer service is second to none.

Thank you so much for such a heartfelt message. We're truly touched to hear the beads for you and your daughter mean so much, and that you feel your husband close by every day because of them. It also means a great deal to know the care taken with his ashes, and the return of anything unused along with the certificate of authenticity, gave you reassurance along the way. We're so glad you've ordered the Companion Petal too, and we can't wait for you to see it finished. Thank you for these kind words and for recommending us — it truly means so much.

A great company
This is a great company for non-traditional types of good-byes. The website gives wonderful advice on what you can do, in terms of legalities, which is incredibly useful if you’re considering water dispersal. They can also sort out fireworks which is fantastic. In fact this was my second buy from them, but first direct buy. The first was their smallest water “pillow” box via Amazon to make a more symbolic gesture of “returning” my loved ones to the river of the place of their birth. It was perfect. The companion size is a great idea especially if you’ve just been unsure what to do exactly with parents who passed away separately. It is a comfort knowing that their remains can be together and can be dispersed together. For the whole upgrade pack, it was lovely that messages can be included on water soluble paper. The petals and floating candles make even the smallest gathering special. Thanks Scattering Ashes.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed message — it really means a lot. We're so glad the guidance around water dispersal was helpful in navigating the legalities, and that the Companion Pillow gave you a way to bring your parents back together, even though they passed separately. It's lovely to hear the water-soluble paper, petals, and floating candles made the gathering feel special too. And thank you for coming back to us for a second time, and for trusting us with something as symbolic as returning your loved ones to the river of their birth. We're really grateful you took the time to share all of this.

Good choice of urns
Good choice of urns, we chose the companion water one, so pleased with it, we had it engraved too, very happy with the pillow, have yet to place in the sea.
All done very quickly plus good correspondence. Will use again as there are glass robins which we can add the ashes to.

Thank you so much for this lovely feedback — we're really pleased the Companion Pillow urn and the engraving turned out just as you'd hoped. We hope the day at sea, whenever you're ready for it, feels as peaceful and meaningful as you're hoping too. And how special that you'll be adding a glass robin to the collection — we look forward to helping with that whenever the time feels right. Thank you for your kind words and for coming back to us.

Bluebells scatter tube
I came across this wonderful website when looking for a beautiful scatter tube for my beautiful mum who passed recently. I immediately saw the bluebells and took it as a sign to buy. My mum loved bluebells. This is a reasonably priced shop and I will be recommending it to people. It also arrived in great condition and arrived quickly too. Thank you so much.

Perfect send off
Firstly, a great company. The urn arrived really quickly which was a relief. The Journey Water Urn was perfect for our send off. Myself and my children accompanied my husband’s ashes to Malta where we had a quiet moment to ourselves and set the ‘pillow’ into the water with some flowers. It stayed on the surface just long enough for us all to reflect before slowly sinking to the bottom of the inlet (around 8 minutes). It was a beautiful moment and I would recommend the scattering-ashes Journey Urn to anybody wanting to have a water scatter.

Beautiful product
This product is exactly what I was looking for. It was elegantly packed with clear instructions - the hand made paper and colour was perfect. I can’t think of a better way to send our Mum on her way. We covered it in Roses and placed it at high tide in the river. It took about 30 seconds to disappear but it gave us the sort of closure that our Mum would have appreciated. Great product and great service, thank you.
