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.

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.
