In 80% of cases the cremation ashes are strewn or buried in the gardens of remembrance at the crematorium. The alternative is to remove cremation ashes from the crematorium in a suitable urn for dispersion elsewhere. This may be a burial in a family grave or by strewing the ashes at another crematorium or a loved-ones favourite spot. However, it must be borne in mind that when ashes are strewn in other places, e.g. graves, churchyards, or any public places etc., prior permission must be sought and any local rules or regulations obeyed.
Every Heavenly Stars order is given a unique tracking number, which enables each order to be monitored through every process. On arrival of the ashes identity information is placed on the outside of the cremation ash container. The identification is maintained by only having a single person’s ashes in the incorporation room at any one time. A unique Certificate of Authenticity is created with the dispatch documentation. They are stored until the agreed dispatch date and a signature will be required upon delivery back to you.

I must say what a fantastic set of fireworks they were, at the party was the five children plus grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. My mum’s brother and wife were there plus all my brother’s guests at his house and everyone was gobsmacked with the display. Thank you once again” “

  • “ “Hi Denise, I’ve been meaning to email you to say thank you so much for the fireworks you did for us with Caz’s ashes in. They were fantastic and the highlight of our celebration of Caz’s life that we had on November 5th, which would’ve been her 49th birthday. We had all her friends and family there and with some champagne and a few cocktails we sent her off in style. Everyone was so impressed with the rockets and letters, in fact several people thought it was a fantastic idea for themselves when the time comes…

    Once again our heartfelt thanks for allowing us the chance to honour Caz’s wishes in such style.” “
