There are many meaningful locations in and around Kingswinford 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.
A local park can have many happy memories attached so can be a nostalgic and significant place to scatter the ashes of a loved one. Kingswinford is close to several local parks that you may have visited many times over the years including King George VI Park and Cot Lane Park.
The Staffordshire and Worcestershire canal is one of the most beautiful in the country and is a scenic place to scatter ashes. The canal can be joined by a number of places in Kingswinford including from the Kingswinford Railway Walk.
Scattering ashes can be a very important and personal part of the grieving process so rather than a public park or canal you may prefer to choose a location closer to home. Ashes can be scattered in your own back garden or perhaps the beer garden of your loved one's local pub like High Acres Pub or The Cross Inn.
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 Kingswinford that may be suited to your memorial service include church halls, village or town halls, sports or social clubs, pubs, restaurants or hotels.
For those close to their commuity, Kingswinford Community Centre may be the perfect spot to host a memorial service for a loved one. The community centre has three different rooms which can accommodate between 20 and 50 people, and a hall for larger groups which can host up to 120 people.
The Cottage on Kingswinford high street is a lovely real ale pub with a beautiful, picturesque frontage which has a number of spaces that would be perfect for a memorial service, including a private function room that can be hired upon request.
Holding the wake in your own home has the benefit of being convenient, saving money and providing the perfect backdrop for reminiscing about the happy memories you shared with your loved one. You can ease the pressure of organising by asking family and friends to chip in.
We offer the highest level of support, but don't just take our word for it. Below are recent reviews from customers who bought a funeral with us.
