Ashes Scattering & Interments
at Arnos Vale in the heart of Bristol
While Arnos Vale Cemetery does not have a crematorium on site, we work closely with families and Funeral Directors to help create personal, heartfelt, and flexible farewells. Whether you choose to scatter ashes or inter them in a dedicated plot, we offer a variety of beautiful spaces within our historic and natural grounds.
Cremation Plots
Create a lasting tribute with a dedicated cremation plot, marked with a memorial stone. Options include:
- Traditional Plots
For up to two sets of ashes in our historic cemetery areas, with a granite memorial
From £1,980 - Woodland Glade Plots
For one set of ashes in our tranquil Natural Burial Woodland, with a wooden plaque memorial
From £1,075
You may also inter ashes into an existing family grave, if the exclusive burial rights are up to date. We’re happy to discuss all memorial styles with you.
Scattering of Ashes
After a cremation, ashes can be scattered within our peaceful grounds, in one of our two Gardens of Rest, or in our beautiful natural woodland glade.
Available locations:
- Scattering of ashes in a Garden of Rest (near Ceremonial Way)
From £105 - Scattering of ashes in the Woodland Glade (natural woodland setting)
From £185
We maintain detailed records — if you're unsure where a family member’s ashes were previously scattered, we can help ensure the same location is used.
Ceremonies and farewells
Many families choose to hold a small, informal ceremony at the time of scattering or interment. Our caring staff can be present to say a few words and help mark the moment with quiet dignity. You can also arrange a funeral, reception, or wake in one of our beautiful chapels or event spaces at Arnos Vale Cemetery.
