Scattering Ashes: Advice From Cremation Providers

For a crematorium worker, COVID-19's mounting toll is measured in ashes and anguish

Diego Pablo had trained the young man in the craft of burning human bodies down to ash.

Inside the crematorium, 44-year-old Pablo watched as his protégé prepared to push the rose-covered cardboard coffin into the furnace's yawning mouth.

"What's next?" Pablo asked, a gentle reminder to the 23-year-old — who towered over him — that something was missing.

If you have decided to scatter a loved one’s ashes after they are cremated with the funeral home, the experts can give you advice to help you get through the process as easily as possible.

If you have decided to go with cremation with the funeral home and cremation provider, there are many options for a final resting place for your loved one once the cremation takes place. Some families choose to move forward with a burial while others keep their loved one’s ashes in an urn at home. The most popular tradition following cremation is to scatter a person’s ashes. These ceremonies are generally small and intimate and are held in a special location. Before you move ahead with this process, here’s some advice from professionals:

Check Legalities

If you are scattering your loved one’s ashes on your own property, that’s perfectly legal. If you are scattering on public grounds, or wish to scatter on someone else’s property, it’s best to check into the regulations and details so you have the right permission. You don’t want to get kicked out of the area right in the middle of the ceremony, disrupting your mourning process. Do the legwork in advance and the funeral home and cremation experts can help.

Consider Scattering Options

You can do whatever you want with scattering. You could scatter all of the ashes in one location. You could scatter them in several locations. You could scatter some and keep some. The decisions are completely up to you. Regular urns are fine for scattering, but some people prefer scattering tubes to make the process easier.

Timelines Are Flexible

It gives some family members a sense of peace to have a scattering ceremony soon after the cremation takes place. However, it’s not always possible for family to gather on short notice. Sometimes, having an open timeline and pushing the scattering into the future a ways can be very helpful. You are honoring your loved one no matter when you end up scattering their ashes. They would likely prefer that the family be together over there being a certain date for the process.

Get Expert Advice

If you have never scattered ashes before, it can be a daunting task. There’s nothing wrong with asking an expert for help and advice. They are there to help you and they understand that this isn’t something everyone has gone through in the past. You can ask any question you have, even if it feels very basic to you. No one will laugh at you.
