At Tong & Peryer, we understand that memorialising a loved one is deeply personal. Ashes provide an enduring connection, serving as a tangible reminder of the memories you hold dear. Whether you seek a traditional approach or something uniquely meaningful, we are here to guide you every step of the way.

Choosing How to Memorialize Ashes
Deciding what to do with ashes is an opportunity to create a tribute as unique as your loved one. Here are some popular options:

Scattering:
Scatter ashes in a meaningful location—perhaps a favorite beach, a garden, or a special travel destination.
Consider eco-friendly scattering options, like biodegradable urns or seed pods that grow into trees.

Keeping at Home:
Select a decorative urn that complements your home while keeping your loved one close.
Explore smaller keepsake urns for family members who wish to share the ashes.

Memorial Jewellery:
Carry your loved one with you in custom-designed necklaces, rings, or bracelets that hold a small portion of ashes.

Burial or Interment:
Bury the ashes in a cemetery or memorial garden, often with a headstone or plaque for commemoration.
Consider placing them in a columbarium niche at a mausoleum.

There are also unique memorialisation ideas you might consider, such as:
Artistic Tributes: Transform ashes into glass art, paintings, or sculptures as a vibrant tribute.

Eco-Memorials: Use ashes in coral reef restoration projects or plant a memorial tree.

The Importance of Memorialisation
Creating a lasting memorial helps with healing, providing a focal point for reflection and celebration of life. It becomes a place or object that can be revisited, ensuring that the memories never fade.
