4 Places You Shouldn’t Scatter Remains After a Cremation Service

January 8, 2020

Are you trying to figure out what you want to do with your loved one’s remains following their cremation service in Donna, TX ? There are a lot of options for you to pick from. You can bring your loved one’s remains home with you and display them in an urn. You can also bury your loved one’s remains in a cemetery or store their urn in a columbarium. And if you don’t mind parting ways with the remains, you can always scatter them if you want. Over the years, families have scattered their loved one’s remains in all kinds of places. They’ve scattered them out at sea, on top of mountains, out in nature, and more. It’s a great option to have. But you will need to be careful about where you choose to scatter your loved one’s remains. Here are 4 places that you definitely shouldn’t do it. At the beach Many people enjoy spending long days at the beach. As a result, their families sometimes consider scattering their remains on the beach after their Donna, TX cremation so that they can spend the rest of their time sitting there. But this is not allowed. Families aren’t permitted to scatter remains on beaches, and they’re also not permitted to scatter them in the water that sits right off the coast. Cremated remains must be taken at least three nautical miles off the coast if they’re going to be scattered at sea. On a nature trail To be clear, you can scatter your loved one’s remains near nature trials if you want. In fact, most national parks will allow you to scatter remains as long as you seek permission before you do it. But if you’re going to scatter remains somewhere out in nature, it’s important to do it in a place where people won’t trample over them. You’ll want to walk off the beaten path and put your loved one’s remains in a place where they won’t be disturbed or cause a disturbance. At a sports stadium If your loved one was a passionate sports fan and loved one sports team, in particular, you might be considering bringing their remains to that team’s stadium and scattering them there. Do not do this as you will technically be committing a crime by dumping your loved one’s remains on private property. If someone happens to catch you doing it, your loved one’s remains will also likely be removed from the premises, which is obviously not what you want. It’s a good idea to find a better place to scatter a sport fanatic’s remains. Inside of Disney World Believe it or not, families scattering their loved one’s remains has become a big problem at Disney World and other Disney locations. Since so many people love Disney, their loved ones often attempt to scatter their remains inside the parks. Just like with sports stadiums, you should not attempt to do this. You can get yourself into serious trouble and have your loved one’s remains vacuumed up and removed from the premises if you get caught.
