Crematorium Daelhof

Ash destination

What to do with the ashes of a deceased (cremation)? Where the ashes go to, is called the ash destination. Nowadays, the legislator allows more and more options. Relatives can choose to bury the urn in a cemetery or in a woodland burial ground, or to place it in a columbarium or burial grave. Ashes can of course also be kept at home, in an ornamental urn. Relatives are entitled to the urn home with them (in a special box) or can arrange this after making an appointment with the funeral director. Families can also choose to have the ashes scattered.

Crematorium Daelhof offers a number of destination options for ashes:

Ash scattering

Crematorium Daelhof has a large garden, specifically destinated for scattering ashes and located in a peaceful environment. Ash scattering is carefully done by crematorium staff and is free of charge. Flowers, wreaths or other mementos can be left on the border of the site and for a limited period of time. The scatter garden is located in the green site of the crematorium, on the edge of the nature reserve behind

Memorial plaque

In memory of the deceased, we offer the possibility for you to hang a memorial plaque on the memorial wall of the scatter garden. You can choose between a memorial plaque with or without a picture of the deceased. Memorial plaques are fixed on the wall for a renewable term of 10 years. If you are interested, please ask your funeral director to arrange the necessary formalities.

Columbarium

Relatives also have the option of placing the urn in a niche in the columbarium, adjacent to the scatter garden. The concessions for an additional columbarium niche are granted for a renewable period of 20 years. A concession can be arranged through your funeral director. Daelhof offers small flower vases that can be attached to the niche where your loved one is laid to rest.

Access to the scatter garden and memorial site

The scatter garden and the memorial site can be visited at any time of the day, between sunrise and sunset, every day of the week, including Sundays and public holidays.
