I will begin my much needed first Camino next month. Is there a certain place to place my stone along this route?

I buried my husband and I plan on carrying some of his ashes with me. I am not leaving them there. I plan to bring them back as I always planned to bury them with the rest when I was fully ready to let go. I don't know if I will ever be ready but I'm hoping to be....

Welcome to the forum.

May you find peace and solace as you walk.

I've not walked the Ingles, and I'm not aware of any options like the Cruz de Ferro on the Camino Frances or the Cruz del Salvador on the Camino del Salvador where you might leave a stone in remembrance. But I suspect you will find ample opportunity to do so along the way at some point where it just feels right.

Another thought, if you're going to go out to Muxia or Finisterre would be to leave it there at the coast at sunset.

Olá @Caminodreams.
I read your post and recognised your thoughts and feelings. So sorry for you.
I took my beloved ones with me -my first wife and my son who both passed away in the same year 1996- in my heart on the 3 caminos which I walked with my second wife.
I allways wear the weddingring from my first wife . A goldsmith placed a saphire gem into is as a metaphore for my son. So for my peace they are allways with me.
About your stone on the camino Inglès .There is not a specific place on the camino Inglès like the Cruz del Ferro where pilgrims leave something behind.
but there is one place -as far as I remember-you pass where you possibly could leave your stone but I will send you a pm to avoid that everybody is going to do that .

I will let you know later today .
Buen camino

Too many caminos to list in the permitted 100 characters!!
If it a small stone, maybe at the start of the Camino .... maybe right on the quayside at Ferrol? Your husband would have loved to be there with you, walking with you, and enjoying the camino with you.DSCF6505.JPG
Just a thought. So many pilgrims must have walked past there, over the last thousand years.
Blessings from East Anglia....

some and then more. see my signature.
There is no particular place like on the Frances. why not just see how it goes? If you find yourself particularly moved to do so at a particular point then just leave it there? There are some points early on with quite lovely seaside views.

Al beat me to it. The place will find you at the right moment.
Ultreia!!
