Welcome to the Parish Church of Christ Church, Colbury. It is tucked away on the edge of Ashurst, enjoying an idyllic position in the New Forest National Park.
We are a community of friends and neighbours who gather to worship God and serve the village for the good of all. We host a variety of activities for people of different ages and situations in our church rooms through the week.
Services are held in Church every Sunday at 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. All are invited to join in the informal coffee and tea time after the 10 a.m. service in the Church Rooms.
Come and join us!
My husband David Turner passed away the end of June his parents have two graves in the church yard and we wondered if we would be able to scatter his ashes onto their graves we are not sure of the procedure of how we go about this.
We live in the Reading area but he was brought up as a young boy in Totton Southampton, they then moved into the Reading area due to his father’s work commitments.His sister still lives in the Portsmouth area .
If you could reply to my email address I would be grateful for your reply on our request
With many thanks

Dear Mrs Turner
Thank you for you enquiry. Officially, remains should be buried in the ground. They may be buried loose and not in a casket but they should be buried. You are welcome to organise an interment of his ashes into one of his parents’ graves.
