Advice for categorization of Riddiford-52?

Question

I would like advice or may need help creating a new category for the profile of Gladys May (Riddiford) Hammond. The category might be named something like Medway Crematorium, Chatham, Kent, England. The FG page is https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2221354/medway-crematorium.

Could I get help creating the new category? Or is there an existing category to use? Thank you!

I think the answer below is what you need. We don't usually add a category for the crematorium unless it's for someone employed there. We also don't create categories for hospitals people died in to add to their profiles.

I think there's a case to treat the grounds of Medway Crematorium like a cemetery. Each of the glades on the property is well defined (see plan) and each presumably contains the cremains of hundreds (thousands?) of people. There are also facilities for visiting one's deceased relatives.

To me, the category "Cremated. Ashes scattered" is for when the relatives take the ashes off site and scatter them at a location significant to the deceased.

Hi Gary,

I see from the profile that, after her cremation, Gladys' ashes were scattered. Although I'm not sure, I believe that Gladys' profile should be added to the category "Cremated, Ashes Scattered" at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Cremated%2C_Ashes_Scattered. See the page on Cremation at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Cremation
