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

[JudyKayTee]

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

What are you trying to accomplish?

[smoothy]

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?

[banksmandy]

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

[JudyKayTee]

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?

[ballengerb1]

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.

[ballengerb1]

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

[banksmandy]

Thanks guys you have all been very helpful x

[JudyKayTee]

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?

[ballengerb1]

Ashes can be buried and frequently are.

[JudyKayTee]

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.
