What Is
Ashes Scattering?
Scattering ashes is the act of releasing cremated remains in a special place. For many, it offers a sense of closure and connection to nature or a location that held meaning for their loved one. There’s no single “right” way — whether by land, sea, air, or in a private garden, the choice is entirely personal.
Whether you’re planning a peaceful ceremony, exploring beautiful locations, or simply trying to understand what’s possible, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
This website is designed to help you make informed, thoughtful decisions about scattering ashes from legal advice and location options to ceremonial ideas and emotional support.
