Does anyone know who I would need to contact about having my mom's ashes resumed. Thanks

Having ashes resumed? I have no idea what you mean.

What are you trying to accomplish?

I second what Judy asked... I guess you are talking about your MOTHERS ashes? What do you need done, RETURNED? From who? Or do you mean put into a new URN?

You can't "resume" a body or ashes. You can "resume" an activity you stopped for some reason.

Were the ashes buried? If so, why do you need them dug up again?

Sorry for not making myself clear. My mams ashes are in a plot at the cemetery. I hate the cemetery and it has no meaning when I visit her grave. I want her ashes to take home and either keep or burry them in the garden

You mean EXHUMED. You need a Court Order in my area.

You can't just dig up ashes and move them.

Can you bury ashes on private property in your area?

Depending on where you live private property may be allowed. You can't dig up the ashes on your own even if the cemetery says OK. Where are you? Cremation Ashes: exhumation order allowed | Scattering Ashes

I am in england. I do know that ashes are allowed to be buried on private land.

You would first have to petition the crown to exhume the ash container from the cemetery

Thanks guys you have all been very helpful x

I'm sorry for your loss - it's difficult when your mother dies. I hope you find peace - and that might involve moving her ashes.

Exhumed? Ashes are not usually buried, so what are you asking?

Ashes can be buried and frequently are.

Very common in my area - in fact, I think it's ridiculous to have to purchase a whole plot to bury ashes... but those are the rules.
