World Soil Day - The Truth About Urns
The urns under the microscope in this article are those that are taken back into nature. This was by far the largest group, with 60% expecting to scatter or bury the cremated remains either at the crematorium or a special place. That is roughly 840 tonnes of cremated remains going back into nature in one form or another.

In 2021, 79% of all deaths in England ended with cremation - creating 1.4m kilos of remains. If we were to include pets too, the figures could double. It really is a growing problem, but thankfully one with an easy solution.
Baby Loss Awareness Week
While our focus is on keeping cremated remains safe for the planet, we also care deeply about keeping any memorial plantings safe for the family. Often when a plant dies, it can feel like a second bereavement, which we hope to avoid with the creation of Living Memorial.

Using a Celebrant
Many families ask about using a celebrant for their memorial service. Often there are no specific religious convictions, and so a less formal approach can fit better. It may also depend on the location of the ceremony and what you want to happen.
