Celebrating Life

your way

You Choose

There's only one right way and that's YOUR way.

The way we say goodbye to those we love is changing, people are beginning to realise that they are free to honour someone in a way that they want to and in a place that they feel comfortable in.

Below are just a few ideas to give you inspiration for possible ways you might like to honour and celebrate the life of someone you love.

Stag Direct Cremations. Ashes ceremony ideas. Funeral.

Country Memorial Walk

This can be a wonderful way to remember a precious friend/family member especially if they loved to walk, perhaps had a dog. You can incorporate a nice pub lunch at the end where you can all share more memories.

Share memories in your garden.

Whether a large or a small affair this can be a very gentle way to honour your loved one.

Treasured Memory Books

Make your own using handmade paper & ribbon or purchase a beautifully made book that you can all write your favourite memories in to become a treasured heirloom over time.

Memorial Trees

You can hand out saplings to your guests for them to take home and plant in the memory of the person who has died. Many trees can quite happily live in pots too so it won't matter if your garden isn't large.

Candle-lit Vigil

Join together with friends & family and all light a candle, sit together and share memories or just listen to music or say prayers and blessings.

Foliage & Flowers

Collect your own foliage & flowers from your garden to decorate the space and/or the place where the ashes will be buried.

Sparklers

Sparklers can represent the magic of the stars & the universe from which we are all born and all return to.

Plant a Tree

Many people like to plant a tree in memory of their loved one, which can be a lovely idea but it's important to be aware that ashes are toxic to plants and so if you want to incorporate the ashes within the soil it's important to use a specialist soil preparation, such as Living Memorial.

Create a Flower Garden

Hand out packets of summer flower seeds for a bounty of colour in memory of the person who has died.

A Snuggly Resting Place

If you are burying the ashes in your garden, after digging the hole you can line it with fresh smelling hay, flowers, petals and foliage.

Ashes into Fireworks

Did you know you can have the ashes placed into fireworks? They are truly fantastic events, scattering the ashes over the heavens. It is a scattering ceremony that will stay forever in the memory.

Organising a
Celebration of Life

The beauty of a direct cremation is that it frees

you to honour your loved one in your way, at a time that best suits you and at a place that feels right.

Your personal Stag Guide can also guide you through the process of organising a Celebration of Life or Memorial Ceremony, supporting you throughout and even being there on the day to help should you wish.
