One of the things that many find comforting about having a loved one cremated is the fact that unlike with a burial there is something left of your dearly departed – the cremated remains, or ashes as we usually call them, are returned to you.
Bewley Funerals has a range of different containers (what we’d traditionally call an urn) available to choose from to have the ashes stored in after the cremation. We’ll make sure the precious remains are put into the chosen container and returned to the family, who can then decide what to do with it.
Traditionally ashes are usually scattered in a location meaningful to the deceased, or else buried in a designated area in a cemetery or crematorium, marked with a memorial plaque. Nowadays, however, there are dozens of novel options for storing and keeping cremated remains, including having them turned into glass objects, sealed into a piece of jewellery, incorporated into a garden sculpture, mixed with paint to create a work of art, or contained in resin, to name but a few.
Many like the idea of keeping the ashes in the home in a display casket or decorative urn, or perhaps you would prefer to have them returned to you in a bio-degradable container that can be buried discreetly in the garden or some other location.
Whatever you decide to do with the remains of someone close to your heart, Bewley Funerals can assist. Have a look through our available selection of ashes urns and containers for inspiration and to help you make this all-important decision.
Bewley Funerals have a range of biodegradable urns and wooden caskets available to order for those who want to bury the ashes of a loved one after cremation.
We have eco-friendly containers made of Allium, bamboo, banana leaf or white willow that will decompose in the soil allowing the ashes to eventually become one with the earth. The Eco Acorn, hand made out of recycled cardboard and paper, is also fully biodegradable and represents eternal life, as does our eco-friendly leaf urn made of natural products that is available in four different colours.
A popular option is the unique Bio Urn, which is designed to turn death into life, transforming the cremated remains of your loved one into a growing tree when buried.
For a more traditional burial of cremated remains we offer tasteful mahogany or oak caskets.

Capture the spirit of a departed loved one – have his or her ashes enclosed in a piece of pretty or stylish jewellery so you can discreetly keep them close.
Wearing memorial jewellery is an age-old practice which brings a great deal of comfort to those mourning someone special. Today the bereaved are able to actually wear some of the cremated remains of the deceased concealed in a pendant or bracelet.
Choose an enamelled butterfly, a pair of angel wings, a sparkling star, dramatic heart, or a simple rectangle or cross to contain the ashes, or have them sealed in a capsule on a bracelet.
These pieces also make a wonderfully meaningful gift for a parent or sibling who has lost a partner or child.
