Ashes Caskets, Urns and Keepsakes

Keepsakes to cherish

After a cremation, there are many options: you may scatter ashes in a crematorium’s Garden of Remembrance, scatter them elsewhere on land or at sea, bury them, or keep them at home.

At Shields of Donaghadee Funeral Directors we have a wide range of urns and caskets for this purpose in a variety of styles and materials such as wood, cardboard, marble and stone.

To view our full range, please download our brochure and price list.

A unique way to scatter ashes

You can even have remains released into the atmosphere, incorporating them into memorial fireworks or create a time capsule. There are many inspirational and innovative options available so please talk to us about anything you might be thinking and we’ll do our best to make it happen.

If you would like to provide your own container Shields of Donaghadee Funeral Directors can let you know if it’s suitable and the right size. And remember, we’re here to help you fulfil any wishes you may have if we can, so please do ask.
