where do you want your ashes scattered
 

Maybe it's a bit morbid .....but I think most folks these days would favour their "cre-mains" being scattered in some favourite place instead of being under 6 ' of dirt up on Burnley Rd or where ever Accy Crematorium/ corporation disposes of the uncollected ashes
So the question is where would you like your family /significant others to dump your ashes ........ does it bother you or does it ever enter your mind where the ashes end up ?
Has any Accy-web user told his/her family where they want their ashes scattered ? and why ? and made any provision ?
Would you want them scattered in one place or divided up and scattered in multiple places where you had maybe happy memories ?
OK , I'll go first and say the three places where I would like to be thrown to the winds are ......into the Ocean off Homer Alaska , Persepolis Iran, and over-looking the Golden Gate bridge from the Palace of Legion of Honour in San Francisco .

just curious ;) ;) ;)

Re: where do you want your ashes scattered
 

I'd like my ashes to be scattered on the pitch at Accrington Stanley

Burning people is so un-green.
It would be more environmentally friendly if they lobbed dead bodies into power stations or somewhere else where the released energy could be utilised.

Re: where do you want your ashes scattered
 

buried is what i want getting burnt would be like going to hell

Re: where do you want your ashes scattered
 

Don't think so - I know of at least a couple of times when it's been allowed but I'll find out for sure before I leave instructions for when I shuffle off me mortal coil:o

Re: where do you want your ashes scattered
 

There's a very special place to our family, high on Oswaldtwistle moors, and that's were I'll be thrown to the four winds.


My Dad left instruction for his ashes to be scattered in the sea at Saundersfoot. As a family, we went down to our cottage in Pembrokeshire thirteen years ago. It was Easter Sunday, and we planned to go out in my Dad's boat to carry out his wishes, before driving back to Ossy that evening. Sadly none of us had checked the tides, and the boat was moored, and stuck in the mud. We eventually did what we had to do, later in that stormy night. It was really beautiful and moving, and we know my Dad would have been laughing at us all for being too dim to have checked the tides.:)

Re: where do you want your ashes scattered
 

My husband says I can use his ashes to soak up the oil spill in the garage !!!

Re: where do you want your ashes scattered
 

when i pop me clogs i want to be cremated and stored untill my children and partner (thats if im still with him) eventually die and then all mixed together as one and scattered somewhere where we all enjoyed:rolleyes:

dont want to be buried to rot and have some little critter eating me:( , then to have my bones removed or have a ruddy motorway built over me!!
space is running out, everyone should be cremated:o

Re: where do you want your ashes scattered
 

I haven't really thought about it but wouldn't like to be buried, I dont mind cremation but would like someone to check I'm really dead, wouldn't like to be burned alive:eek: . Think it'd be nice for my ashes to be made into a diamond.

Re: where do you want your ashes scattered
 

that would be nice BUT who would pay for it!??:D

Re: where do you want your ashes scattered
 

If I die before my other half he can pay, if not I'll have to leave the money.:) Better still my family can have a whip round.

Re: where do you want your ashes scattered
 

Don't worry grego, I'll check that you're not still alive before we light you..:D

I haven't given it much thought really, I would prefer cremation rather than burial and would prefer to have a cheapo, easily combustible casket. IMO there's no point wasting money on fancy stuff when you're dead, I would rather the money was spent on the living members of my family.

I don't know where I would like to be scattered for definite yet, but Bob's Peak in Queenstown would be a good place to go.:D

Re: where do you want your ashes scattered
 

i dont want my ashes scattered anywhere, i want them snorted :D

Re: where do you want your ashes scattered
 

give Keith Richards a ring.:D

Re: where do you want your ashes scattered
 

It's written in my Will that I'm to be cremated (but not yet). I don't care what they do with my ashes as long as they don't do it on a windy day. I'd hate to end up all over somebody's best suit. :p

Re: where do you want your ashes scattered
 

Not bovvered, as long as the Funeral Director gets me eyeliner on right whilst I lie in their parlour for viewing .. oh and this bloody hair I have tousled with all my life.. bit of a fringe and side teasers please. Quite suit shades of varying shades of purples/lilacs .. so no white shroud for me please. :D Oh, and Rimmel Heather Shimmer lipstick.

Re: where do you want your ashes scattered
 

No cremation for me please......you can do anything else you like with me....but please don't cremate me.......these hot flushes are bad enough!

Re: where do you want your ashes scattered
 

I remember after my Pa died, my mum and my sister took his ashes to Ronda in Spain.....it was in March so you wouldn't expect there to be thermal air currents ( well, I wouldn't). I don't know if any of you know Ronda but it is built on a huge gorge....and there are sort of platforms that are built out so you can take in the enormity of the view. My mum and my sister were on one viewing platform with their nescafe Jar with Dad's remains in.......on the next viewing platform were three lads from Birmingham. Mum released the ashes and they were caught by a thermal....they spiralled up into the air....then they dropped a few feet......then the wind changed and deposited the ash onto the lads from Birmingham....the lads said something to the effect that it was sand blown all the way from the Sahara.....my mum heard this and had to chuckle as she said to my sister....'well, not exactly the Sahara...somewhere a damn sight hotter'. I'm sure my pa was sat somewhere laughing his socks off at that.

Re: where do you want your ashes scattered
 

My mother died recently, and her husband is going to scatter her ashes in their back garden which is very colourful and beautiful with all the flower beds, she loved her garden, and spent many happy hours there, so he felt it would be appropriate, also he is often out in the garden tending to it, so he will feel close to her there

Re: where do you want your ashes scattered
 

The Grounds of the Higher Trapp Country House Hotel where we were married.

And I don't want to be in one of those God awful built into the dead bed frilly shroud thingy's, whilst I'm on view!. Also, like Katex, they'd better get my make up right, or I'll haunt them!

That would be a really cool idea, unfortunately what that would really mean would that I'd be stuck in the back of the kitchen drawer.
