Scattering ashes around the world: what to know first

Scattering ashes sounds straightforward, until you start looking into it. What is allowed in one park is not allowed in the next. A coastline in one country has different rules than a coastline an hour away. The information is scattered, and often out of date.

The rules vary by place

National parks, beaches, rivers, and private land each have their own requirements, and these change over time. Some places ask for permission, some have quiet restrictions, and some welcome it. Knowing which is which is most of the work.

What we do, and what we do not

We find out what is permitted where you have in mind, so anything we suggest can be done properly and respectfully. We never take possession of remains. The scattering is carried out by a trusted local we introduce, or by your family. You stay in control of every decision.

Distance is not a barrier

A lot of families come to us because the place that matters is far away, sometimes in another country. That is the part we are built for. We do the research and find the right people there, so you do not have to navigate it from afar.

If you have a place in mind, or only a feeling about one, tell us and we will find out what is possible.
