How to Scatter Ashes - Quick Guide
1. Scout the scattering location - Check for accessibility, atmosphere and legality of your location.
2. Be prepared for the weight and appearance of human ashes - cremated human ashes are more like crushed stone than fireplace ash.
3. Scatter ashes with wind at your back (or use biodegradable urn to contain).

Choose your Scattering Method - There are four popular methods for scattering ashes

1. Scattering Ashes in a Special Place - Most Common
When people first think about scattering ashes, often what comes to mind is the tossing and dispersing of cremation ashes into the air. Scattering ashes often symbolizes the freeing or letting go of their loved one’s spirit.

2. Casting Ashes over Water
If your loved one's passion for the sea resonates with you, casting ashes from shore or sprinkling ashes over water is a beautiful option. Biodegradable urns are a beautiful way to gently release your ashes into the water. The biodegradable urn will be placed in the water, it will float for a couple minutes before it begins to sink and dissolve.

3. Trenching or burying Ashes
A trench or hole is dug into the ground and the ashes are scattered inside. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the family covers the trench or hole. Trenching ceremonies are ideal for those who loved nature, enjoyed gardening or for the remaining loved ones who want a specific place to visit after the ceremony.

4. Sprinkling Ashes in Multiple Locations
If there are multiple meaningful locations, consider spreading ashes in any combination of the common ash scattering methods.

How To Scatter Ashes In A Peaceful Way

1. Scout the Scattering Location before Your Ceremony
Scope out the preferred scattering location before other friends or family arrive and without the ashes in hand. Try to visit at a similar time of day. Look at the site while considering the following:

Accessibility
Is the physical terrain manageable for everyone who will attain?
Is there parking?

Atmosphere
Do you feel the location is quiet and/or peaceful enough for your plans?
If you are reading a poem or sharing a memory, will attendees be able to hear you?
Would scattering at sunrise or sunset add meaning for you?

Legality
Are there rules about scattering ashes in the place you have chosen?
Some state and national parks, for example, have rules about where ashes can be scattered.
Take your time to find the right place for this important scattering ceremony.

2. Be prepared for the weight and appearance of human ashes.
Cremated remains are coarser than most people anticipate. Because we call them”ashes” family members can be unprepared when opening the urn or container. Ashes are more like crushed stone than fireplace ash. A full urn or scattering container will be heavy. Be prepared to assist someone as needed.

3. Scatter ashes with wind at your back (or use biodegradable urn to contain).
Before you open the urn, check the wind and make sure it is to your back or behind the urn. Be prepared just in case those involved in scattering get some ash on their hands or clothing. You might consider bringing a bottle of water and/or a small towel for clean up if needed. Stardust Memorials offers Scattering Tubes that are specifically designed to disperse ashes in a dignified and easy manner.
