Out in the middle of the ocean

If your loved one was someone who spent a ton of time out on the water, scattering their remains in the water might be a no-brainer. But you can’t scatter a loved one’s remains just anywhere after their Turley, OK cremation is complete. Creeks, lakes, and even rivers will be off-limits for the most part. Instead, you’re going to have to take your loved one’s remains out into the ocean and scatter them there. You’ll need to follow some basic rules that the U.S. Coast Guard has come up with to help families scatter remains in the ocean safely.

High up on the top of a mountain

Don’t like the idea of scattering a loved one’s remains in the water? You don’t have to take that approach to dealing with the remains then! You can also keep them on land and think about scattering them high up on a mountaintop. There are literally tens of thousands of named mountains throughout the country, and you can utilize many of them to scatter a loved one’s remains. You may just need to seek the proper permission to scatter a loved one’s remains on a particular mountain.

In the wilderness of a national park

While scattering a loved one’s remains on a mountaintop can be very rewarding, it’s also going to require your family to make their way up a mountain to do it. If you have family members that can’t do this, you might want to give some thought to scattering your loved one’s remains in a national park. Many national parks have started to allow families to scatter loved one’s remains. You will just need to follow some guidelines when doing it so that you don’t end up scattering a loved one’s remains in a part of a national park that lots of people visit all the time.
