Beautiful product
This product is exactly what I was looking for. It was elegantly packed with clear instructions - the hand made paper and colour was perfect. I can’t think of a better way to send our Mum on her way. We covered it in Roses and placed it at high tide in the river. It took about 30 seconds to disappear but it gave us the sort of closure that our Mum would have appreciated. Great product and great service, thank you.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We’re deeply touched that the ceremony felt so right for your Mum. Your description of placing the urn amongst the roses at high tide sounds incredibly peaceful and personal, and we’re honoured that we could play a small part in helping create that moment for your family.
We also really appreciate your kind words about the presentation and instructions. We put a great deal of care into every detail, so it means a lot to hear that everything felt just as you had hoped.
Thank you again for choosing us at such an important time.

Beautiful memorial glass birds - highly recommend
I ordered two memorial glass birds containing ashes. I was kept updated and informed throughout, which included an acknowledgment of when the ashes had been received, which was comforting.
I received my order earlier than the quoted timescales and both the memorial glass birds are beautiful. I can’t fault the process, it was simple, thoughtful and stress free. I’m so pleased with the end result. I would definitely recommend. Thank you!

A Company that Cares
I ordered 3 Robins and a ring a few weeks ago containing my Wifes ashes for myself and son and daughter and have received them all before Christmas which I am very grateful for. The whole process and experience with Scattering Ashes from initial enquiry, point of order, communication and help throughout to delivery was excellent. The products are of the highest quality and Helen and the rest of the team are compassionate and friendly and deliver brilliant customer service. Would 💯 recommend this company to provide memorable items to help remember lost loved ones. As a family we now have beautiful items that we will cherish for the coming years to remember a lost but never forgotten wife and mother.
Thank-you Scattering Ashes

Fir Cone Memorial
I ordered a Fir Cone Memorial from Scattering Ashes for my Dad's ashes. It is so beautiful and perfect to keep in our garden as a lasting memorial.
There was a slight glitch in delivery through no fault of the company but this was resolved quickly.

Unusual urn but quite perfect
The bamboo urn is perfect for my mother’s ashes as her casket was also bamboo and I know she would have loved them both ♥️

I purchased the sharing bucket thinking there would be enough living soil for 2 people's ashes unfortunately I followed the instructions and there isn't enough living soil for 1 person's ashes never mind 2

Unprompted review
Reply from Scattering Ashes
Thank you for your feedback, and I’m so sorry to hear you were disappointed with the amount of living soil included. The sharing tin is designed for small portions of ashes rather than two full sets - that's why it's the cheapest option - we’ll make sure that’s made clearer in the product information. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts — it really helps us improve. If you'd like to discuss a solution, please don’t hesitate to get in touch directly.
Ceremony at Sea
I ordered a Water Journey Urn, it was delivered swiftly and very well packaged, the urn itself was made from beautiful material, the colour I chose was perfect. We scattered my father's ashes at sea, on a cruise on our way into Valletta Malta in a beautiful ceremony on P&O Azura. Everything was wonderful. My daughter transferred the ashes into the urn and said it was very simple. We are all very satisfied and happy that we chose to buy from this company.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We're truly honoured that the Water Journey Urn played a part in such a special farewell for your father. It’s wonderful to hear the ceremony at sea went beautifully and that the urn was just right in both colour and design. We’re so glad the transfer was simple and that everything arrived safely. Thank you for trusting us at such an important time — it means a great deal.
Excellent service, thoughtful and highly recommended
From the start, I found the Scattering Ashes website was full of useful information. When I contacted them in person, I found them very helpful and understanding. They swiftly arranged the despatch of some pillow water urns, which arrived next day, in time for us to take away to our chosen location.
In the end, we decided against a water location for the ashes. Again, Scattering Ashes were extremely helpful in organising a return and refund for the unused water urns.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending their service and would certainly use them again in future. Thank you for making something so difficult much easier.

Thank you for letting us support you during such a personal and emotional time
Great customer service
I used scattering ashes to help get in touch with a local boat captain to allow us to scatter my Mum's ashes. They helped in getting in contact, which we then arranged with the boat captain.
As part of this we also bought a water urn, which has to be the best thing ever as it allows for no flying ashes if it is slightly windy as everything is contained and biodegradable in the urn.
The urns were dispatched and delivered quickly.
The water urn was really nicely made.
We also ordered another urn but due to a mistake on our side it was the wrong urn, scattering ashes kindly provided a refund after we returned the urn with no fuss. This care is what is needed in this type of business so can only recommend them highly. Thank you Richard, Karen and Helen
