Up In Lights
As an internationally recognised lighting designer it was proposed if he may like to go up in lights. He looked amused, a good sign. So this is what we did.
Crematoriums are buildings designed for purpose. Not always the most beautiful or welcoming of places to be however honest, poignant and heartfelt celebrations of life can be created simply and kindly.
By listening to your stories, tales of love, life’s adventures, and the highs and lows, we shape a service that truly reflects the individual’s spirit. Personal tributes, music, visuals, and even small gestures like a final cup of tea or a favourite flower are all part of how we honour their memory. Whether you have a clear vision or are uncertain about decisions, rest assured, we’re here to offer as much or as little guidance as you need. London based we also work remotely advising and guiding from afar, giving you the support and structure you need whilst giving the freedom and autonomy to say goodbye, your way
Creating a place to remember those we’ve lost can be healthy and healing as we navigate grief and live with loss. If you are planning to bury the ashes and plant a memorial we will return the ashes with a bag of Return to Nature (RTN) soil. Thereafter are committed to the environment and support the ecosystem. RTN is the only organic mixture created to completely Return you To Nature
RTN is scientifically proven to neutralise the toxicity of cremated remains so you can confidently plant a memorial that will flourish and support the environment for future generations
You can read more about this on our RTN page
How we live with loss is key to the ethos and work of Thereafter. We are happy to discuss ways for you to create memorials, creating space for remembrance as we adjust to living with loss.
