Memorial planning in Birmingham should start with climate (Cool Temperate) and housing (hyperdense) in West Midlands, then pick materials — not the other way around.
Memorial planning for Birmingham should spec materials against cool temperate and hyperdense display space first — then lock farewell gathering window only after ashes are actually ready.

Birmingham's municipal park system and any county/regional open-space district are separate authorities — get written approval from the specific council parks or landowner / park authority before a ceremony. State/province note for England: Council parks and National Trust / parkland sites usually require permission. Royal Parks and many urban greens prohibit informal scattering. Never scatter without landowner consent.
Dense public spaces in Birmingham are managed environments — private property with owner consent is usually simpler than an unpermitted park gathering. Climate band Cool Temperate (inland-metro) still shapes outdoor timing. London and large English cities rarely support garden burial and treat parks as managed spaces; market towns and rural counties may allow more private-land memorials but often travel to a regional crematorium for witnessing.
If a public ceremony is denied, your indoor or private keepsake plan should already stand on its own.
