Cremations & Memorials
After cremation has taken place, the ashes are placed in an urn, identified and if requested, returned to the Funeral Director. The relatives then have the choice of accepting those remains for placement in some location of their choosing.

Alternatively, they can instruct the Funeral Director to scatter the ashes in an area of their choice (river, mountain, valley, etc), or do so themselves.

Many cemeteries, including Cornelian Bay and Kingston, provide a Wall of Remembrance or Rose Garden where the urn containing the ashes can be placed with a suitable plaque identifying the deceased person. For those facilities, cemeteries make a charge for caring and maintaining the surroundings. A pamphlet on this subject is available at the Turnbull Family Funerals' office.
