Columbarium/ashes niches A columbarium is a building, room, or wall which is designed to hold cremation urns. It’s an above-ground interment option and they can be found in some cemeteries and crematoria across the UK. Burial of ashes at sea The burial or scattering of a loved one’s ashes at sea can be a memorable way to honour those who enjoyed life on the water. Private land Similar to scattering ashes on private land, the interment of ashes on private land is legal as long as you have the landowner’s permission to do so. Burying ashes in your garden You might not think there is much to consider if burying the ashes in your own garden, but by law, ashes are treated the same as a human body. Restrictions apply if you are burying the ashes in an urn or box, not for scattering the ashes.
