Ash Scattering Services: How it Works

Scattering ashes is an increasingly common choice for memorials. Many families find closure having the ashes of a loved one scattered in the serene beauty of nature. This can be a location they hold dear, somewhere they frequently visited, or a place they had always wanted to travel to. We handle the transportation of ashes and obtain the appropriate permits to ensure the process is done properly. This also helps eliminate stress and tedious work during a difficult time. Our services are designed to create a personal memorial experience and give you peace-of-mind that your loved one is memorialized in nature in a proper and dignified way. 

We are no longer offering ash scattering services at The Living Urn, however, a 3rd party who does this nationwide with great reviews is Teraloom.  Click here to learn more!
