Scattering Cremation Urns
Every death, like every life, is utterly unique. One of the most healing and uplifting ways to honor our loved ones when they pass away is to release their ashes using a scattering cremation urn. This can be done in a formal service or in a celebration of life designed by you and your family.
One of the most wonderful elements of using a scattering urn for ashes is that you can metaphorically release your loved one. You can set them free, lifting up your own heart as well.
Releasing ashes into the sky, the sea, a river, or the earth, gives your soul, and the souls of others left behind, a moment of ease. Ceremony is an ancient way to honor our dead and release ourselves from grief. Rituals like these help us to start on the path to healing from great loss.
Maybe you want to release ashes into a more public space, like off of a bridge, the garden of a much-loved hotel or vacation spot. While etiquette requires you to request this formally, you may be surprised by how others will help you to honor and grieve your beloved.
