A dedicated site for ashes to be scattered into flowing water is to be officially opened.
Mr Kaler began searching for a site for people from the Sikh and Hindu communities after his sister almost slipped into a river while scattering his father's ashes at Pontsarn, Merthyr Tydfil, in 2012."Because it was a rainy day, the bank was quite slippery and she slipped and nearly fell into the river. It could've been a nasty accident.
The group then spent several years looking for a suitable spot for people to perform the last rites of dead family and friends, with the rowing club eventually agreed with Cardiff council. Mr Kaler, from Caerphilly, said he was only aware of one other dedicated site in the UK, in Leicester.
