Scattering ashes over water is popular and Coventry has many locations adjacent to the city where this can be done including Swanswell Park and Pool, Coventry Canal and the River Sherbourne.
You may like to scatter ashes in the tranquil environment of one of Coventry's parks like the War Memorial Park just south of the city centre or Allesley Park a little further afield.
