Sometimes this may be an easy decision. If your loved one has already requested what is to be done with their remains you may wish to carry out these wishes. If the decision has not been made, there is no rush. A decision can be made at any time, either directly after the funeral or years down the track. Some people wish to take their loved one home for a while. There are many sites in different cemeteries that accommodate cremated remains. You may wish to scatter the ashes in a special location but could require approval from a local authority for this.
