If you are looking for ideas for ashes in the garden - we can help.
So firstly, you need to consider whether you want them contained in some way so they can be moved: either around the garden or should you need to move home. Or, if you want them incorporated into the garden.
Should you choose to incorporate them then you can:
- Scatter them on the lawn or the flower beds – ensure that the ashes are spread over a large are to minimise their alkali nature. A rake can help in spreading the ashes and allow them faster integration into the soil.
- Plant them under a rose bush or shrub, this can be problematic if the ashes compost ratio is not right the plant will be restricted in its growth or may even die. You can solve this simply by using Living Urn - it is 100% effective.

Should you wish to put them in a container or urn then there is a range of designs and materials. You can choose from a more contemporary look in stainless steel or bronze. Should you prefer something more traditional we have carved stone options. Finally, we have a few from UK sculptors in Bronze or weather proof Stoneware.
The advantage of these options is not only are they unique and beautiful to look at, but also they are completely discreet and they can be moved should you move house or change your garden design.
⚱️ Containing Ashes in the Garden
For those who prefer a lasting memorial that can move with them, our Garden Ashes Memorials combine craftsmanship and discretion.
✴️ Stainless Steel Memorials
Handmade here in Devon, each piece uses marine-grade stainless steel — rust-proof, elegant, and built to last.
Designs such as the Petal, Pyramis, and Companion memorials can hold one or more sets of ashes, include optional plaques, and look striking either nestled among plants or as a centrepiece.
Carved Stone
The carved stone range comes in a number of designs. For the sundials and birdbaths there is a choice of stone – either sandstone or travertine. The pedestal can hold up to four sets of ashes – this can have a stone bowl planter on top if you want.
We do have a boulder which is cut from a very unique limestone here in Devon on the edge of Dartmoor.
Scupltures
Finally, we have some very artist led designs that are cast in bronze or frost proof stoneware.
All of the designs are designed by us and unique to us. Read the reviews – people love them














Hey I was wondering if you engrave on the stone you make ? Also I was also wondering can you make the stone and mix the ashes in it as well as engrave on it. And if you can what would be a rough cost on that please.
Hi Ellie
We can engrave on some items, we can’t mix the stone with ashes
Kind regards
Richard
