I went into Hearnden and Daughters in Hatch End to ask for their Easter egg drawing competition forms, and whilst I waited I looked at the leaflets on woodland burials, the poster about jewellery from ashes, and the urns.
My favourite urn was the vase with a top which looked like a Ming dynasty decorative piece.
But equally eye-catching were the colourful containers which looked like painted bottle boxes. They have holes underneath so you can scatter ashes.
The lady who helped me and gave me brochures had lots of interesting information. Different crematoria have different prices and lengths of time for your funeral. You can have half an hour, 45 minutes, or book two lots of half an hour to have an hour. Depending on location. (Breakspear in Ruislip, or Hendon, have different time allocations and prices.) The longer time allows time for longer speeches, or to ensure that your visitors from afar who get lost trying to find the location are still in time to hear part of it.
What about the ashes. You can sculptor them and save some for jewellery. You can have ashes made into rings with an inscription, even ear-rings.
More details in later post.
