Choosing how to honour your loved one's memory is a deeply personal decision. We have options to keep them at home, to bury or inter, to scatter, or to share.
Support and guidance
There is no rush to decide
At Brunskill Family Funerals, we understand that choosing how to honour your loved one's memory is a deeply personal decision.
After the cremation, you will receive your loved one's ashes in a temporary container. The remains can be buried, interred, or scattered, but for many families, keeping a loved one at home brings comfort. We provide a variety of options to suit your needs, whether you prefer to keep the ashes close with keepsakes and jewellery or to choose a more traditional urn or casket for burial.
Personalising the tribute
Memorialising a loved one can be as unique as the person themselves. Our selection of urns and caskets includes traditional designs as well as more personalised options. Whether you're looking for a classic wooden urn, a decorative ceramic piece, or an eco-friendly casket, we have choices that reflect individual preferences, values, and beliefs.
Urns for home display
Keeping ashes at home offers a sense of connection and solace. Our range of urns is designed to fit different aesthetics, from simple and elegant to intricately crafted. We can help you choose the perfect urn that complements the décor of your home and serves as a meaningful reminder of your loved one.
Caskets for interment
If you prefer to inter the ashes in a burial plot, we offer a variety of ash caskets. These come in materials such as wood, metal, and biodegradable options, ensuring that you can find one that aligns with your preferences and budget. The caskets can be customised with inscriptions or symbols that reflect the personality and life of your loved one.
Choosing the right option
We are here to assist you every step of the way. Our experienced Funeral Directors provide compassionate guidance to ensure that your loved one is honoured with dignity. We are available to discuss any specific requirements or preferences you may have.
To help you explore the available options, we have put together a detailed brochure that serves as a guide. It includes all the choices for urns, caskets, keepsakes, and eco-friendly options, and can be requested from us directly.

Common questions
Ashes, urns and caskets, answered
- What happens to the ashes after a cremation?
- After the cremation, you will receive your loved one's ashes in a temporary container. The remains can be buried, interred, or scattered, but for many families, keeping a loved one at home brings comfort. There is no time limit on deciding, so please do not feel rushed.
- Can the ashes be shared between family members?
- Yes. For families who wish to share the ashes among close relatives, we offer small keepsakes and jewellery.

This can be especially comforting when family members are spread across different locations.

- Caskets can be customised with inscriptions or symbols that reflect the personality and life of your loved one. We can advise on character limits and what will fit on the size you have chosen.
- Are there eco-friendly options?
- Yes. Our range includes biodegradable options in wicker, wool and board, which are well suited to an ashes interment at a natural burial ground. Ask us and we will point you towards the options that suit both your wishes and the rules of the site you have chosen.
