They never liked being the centre of attention.

They’d skip the spotlight.
Step out of the photo.
Sit quietly at the edge of the gathering with a soft smile and a full heart.

They didn’t need applause.
They didn’t need ceremony.
And now, they wouldn’t want their final goodbye to be any different.

No rows of folding chairs.
No microphones.
No long lines of polite handshakes.

Just a quiet trail.
A still lake.
A view they loved—maybe even more than they ever said out loud.

Some people live simply and leave gently.

And when they go, it feels right to let them return in that same spirit.

At Forever Places, we help families honour their loved ones with non-witnessed ash scatterings in Canada’s most beautiful natural places.
It’s not a funeral.
It’s not a production.
It’s a moment of stillness in a place that mattered.

And no one needs to be watching for it to be meaningful.

Here’s how it works

You choose the place—maybe it’s the place they returned to over and over, or maybe it’s somewhere they always meant to go.

Once your order is placed, we send you a prepaid, pre-addressed shipping kit with everything you need to send their ashes safely and securely.
It arrives quietly, respectfully, like the person it’s meant to honour.

When we receive your loved one’s ashes, we travel to the location you selected.
Sometimes it takes a day’s drive. Sometimes a quiet paddle. Sometimes it’s just a path through the trees that opens to something breathtaking.

When we get there, we scatter their ashes with care—no witnesses, no audience, no script.

Then we send you a photo of the place, the GPS coordinates, and—if you’d like—a small keepsake from the site, like a bit of soil or water.

It’s simple.
It’s private.
And it’s real.

Because not everyone needs to be seen to be remembered.

Some of the most beautiful lives are lived quietly.
And they deserve to be honoured the same way.
Without spectacle.
Without obligation.

Just a farewell that feels right.
One that matches who they were, not who tradition says they should be.

We’re here for those goodbyes.

The kind that happen on a foggy morning at the edge of a lake.
The kind where the only sounds are birdsong and breeze.
The kind that linger, not in photos, but in feeling.

If you’ve been looking for a way to say goodbye that doesn’t involve rows or rituals—
this might be it.

A place.
A moment.
A quiet return to something bigger than all of us.
