Distinct Cremations

There are many meaningful locations in and around Coventry for scattering ashes once they have been hand-delivered back.

However, please note before you do so that you must gain permission from the landowner or local authority first.

Family Walking By Canal

Scattering ashes over water

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.

River In Green Park

Scattering ashes in nature

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.

Family Outside By Table With Candles

Scattering ashes somewhere meaningful

Coventry is also close to Baddesley House which offers both beautiful gardens and a moat where ashes could possibly be scattered. But sometimes your own garden can be just as meaningful.

With a direct cremation, you have the freedom to arrange a personal memorial service of your choosing in your own time. Places in and around Coventry that may be suited to your memorial service include church halls, village or town halls, sports or social clubs, pubs, restaurants or hotels.

The Welcome Centre

Just outside Coventry city centre, The Welcome Centre has a range of rooms with lots of natural light and views across the city. The facilities are available to suit wakes of different sizes.

Royal Court Hotel

Just 3 miles to the north of Coventry city centre, the historic Royal Court Hotel also offers function rooms to hire for wakes as well as hotel rooms for guests travelling from a distance.

The Albany Club

The Albany Club is a social club to the south of Coventry with a function room available for hire, suitable for wakes and other events, with its own bar and kitchen facilities.

It was such a simple process from start to finish and our allocated assistant - Maxine - bent over backwards to make sure we were happy. The communication was great, the staff were so respectful and we felt relaxed the whole time knowing our loved one was in good hands. We would definitely recommend Distinct Cremations and will be organising our own cremation plan with them in the future.

I highly recommend Distinct Cremations. Kerry was exceptional from start to finish, showing immense kindness, care, and understanding during one of our darkest times. She explained everything clearly and provided essential help and guidance, ensuring our wishes were met throughout. Kerry also checked in on us, which meant a great deal. My brother was treated with the utmost dignity and respect, which was incredibly important to us. We are also grateful to Paul for his kindness and respect. Thank you to everyone at Distinct Cremations.
