Keepsake Scatter Tubes

What are keepsake scatter tubes for?

Examples of when you would need a keepsake scatter tube:

1. The ashes are to be split between family members to be kept either permanently or until a later date. Many people use the scatter tubes as a permanent urn. They will function perfectly well as a permanent container as long as they are kept indoors in dry conditions. This provides an affordable option for storing after splitting the ashes.

2. A group scattering at a memorial service. Rather than have one person scatter the ashes from a large container you can split the ashes in to smaller scatter tubes so that all family members can take part in a scattering. The size of scatter tube you’ll need will depend on how many you’re splitting the ashes between.

3. Travelling with ashes. Taking the ashes to a favourite holiday destination is a popular way of scattering ashes. Whether you’re going abroad or not it’s often best to travel light and cardboard scatter tubes may be the best option.
Some people choose to scatter all the ashes but others choose to keep the majority of the ashes at home permanently and take a small amount in a keepsake scatter tube to perform a ceremonial scattering.

4. In cases where family members have their own preferences as to what should be done with their loved ones ashes. Some people like to keep the ashes, other prefer scattering. Even if everyone agrees that the ashes should be scattered not everyone agrees where they should be scattered. Dividing them between family members can be a good compromise.

We performed a funeral for one family whose loved one was originally from Australia. They split the ashes so that they could scatter at their home in the UK and take some to scatter in his home town in Australia with his family there at a later date.
