Ashes of my grandparents

[PoisonousSmurf]

Not sure what to do with them. My grandad died in 2015 and my nan in 2016 (they were both in their 90s).
My dad and uncle were sorting out the estate and the funeral arrangements and I thought the ashes had been scattered by now!
But, no! My dad brought them round last night as my uncle wants them, but he lives over 400 miles away.
I want to take some of the ashes so that I can scatter them in the places they used to love going.
I also want to put them in a cemetary where relatives are. But what are the rules on scattering ashes on concegrated ground.
Do I need permission?
Or just turn up and turf out?
Eventually, I want to add their names to the 'Find a Grave' database, as our family tradition is to NEVER have a gravestone.
But I want them to be remembered somewhere, even if it's a virtual one!

Don't know if this would be your ' thing ' but take a look at Ashes into Glass. I have a ring with my mum's ashes but you could have something of them both together.

Technically you need permission from the landowner if you want to scatter ashes.

Could their ashes be buried in one of your relatives' graves? What is your uncle's plans?

I don't understand how their names can be added to the database if they aren't buried anywhere?

I think Namethecat's suggestion is excellent

My DH passed away last year I scattered his ashes in a location that we used to go to many times they intend to scatter the remains of his ashes in a different location that we went to regularly.
I did not apply for any kind of permission however I did do it very early in the morning when there was nobody around
I'v also got a very small amount of his ashes in this bracelet.
I got this from a company called New Light Cremation Urns they do quite a lot of jewellery as well, the service was very good and the bracelet came quickly it was in very nice presentation box too.

If you want to scatter or inter (bury) the ashes in a cemetery or churchyard then you must get permission, pay a fee and arrange a date for it to take place. You can't just turn up and dig a hole.
A funeral director can help you with this (your local one will do it doesn't need to be three one that dealt with the funeral)
If you want to scatter elsewhere e.g. in a park etc then you should get permission from the land owner but as PP have said it depends on the circumstances - you may be able to do it discreetly.
Scatter tubes are good if you want to take part of the ashes.
