Is your family comfortable with the idea of parting ways with a loved one’s cremated remains in the aftermath of their cremation services in Taylorsville, UT? If you are, then you might want to think about scattering them in a place that was very special to your loved one. There are actually lots of different places that you can choose to scatter your loved one’s remains. Let’s check out a few of the best places to do it so that you can make a decision on where you would like to scatter their remains.

Out in the middle of the ocean

If your loved one was someone who appreciated spending time near or in the water throughout the course of their life, how about scattering their remains out at sea following their Taylorsville, UT cremation? The U.S. Coast Guard has strict rules about scattering cremains too close to the coast. But as long as you take your loved one’s remains about three nautical miles off the coast, you should be in the clear. You can stage a small ash scattering ceremony for your loved one while you’re on board a boat and then scatter their remains right into the water.

High up on a mountaintop

The middle of the ocean is a pretty majestic place to scatter someone’s remains. But if you don’t like the thought of traveling out in the water to scatter a loved one’s remains, you’ll also have the option to do it high up on a mountaintop. This is also a very majestic option for those who want to scatter remains in a peaceful setting. Just make sure that you look into the rules and regulations regarding scattering remains on the mountaintop that you choose. You might need to be careful about where exactly you scatter them.

In a quiet part of a national park

You might be under the impression that there is no way that a national park would allow you to scatter a loved one’s remains. But in reality, most national parks are willing to let families do it, provided they’re open to following some simple rules. You’ll usually need to request permission to scatter a loved one’s remains in a national park. You’ll also need to scatter them in a place that is off the beaten path so that they don’t come into contact with any other people in the park.

On a piece of your family’s property

Generally speaking, you and your family should dismiss the idea of trying to scatter your loved one’s remains on most pieces of private property. You could get yourself into some real trouble if you do it. But if your family owns a piece of property, you should be able to legally scatter your loved one’s remains on it. It’s a good way to make your loved one a part of your family’s property forever.
