Burial choicesCremated remains are usually kept at the crematorium for approximately 4 weeks after the funeral, which gives time for families to fully decide how they are best laid to rest. They may be left for longer although a monthly storage fee applies (as per the above costs & fees section). The usual options for disposal are as follows: a) Laid to rest in the Garden of Remembrance in one of the grass sections specifically for this purpose. This will be recorded but cannot be marked. There are various forms of memorialisation available. b) The ashes are buried at the foot of the chosen garden memorial with a plaque bearing the wording of your choice. c) Ashes may be removed from the crematorium.
