What Is Destination Ash Scattering and How Does It Work?
Destination ash scattering is a meaningful and serene way to honor a loved one’s life. Instead of keeping cremated remains in an urn or scattering them in a local spot, many families are choosing to say goodbye in a more special, natural setting. Whether it’s over the ocean, in a national park, or another scenic location, this process allows families to celebrate their loved one’s life in a truly beautiful and lasting way.
Why Choose Destination Ash Scattering?
For many, scattering ashes at a destination offers the opportunity to honor their loved one's memory in a place that holds special significance. Whether it’s a location they loved or simply a serene spot in nature, destination ash scattering provides a peaceful and personalized farewell.
