What to Do Before Scattering Cremated Remains on Private Property

May 25, 2020

Are you trying to find the perfect place to scatter your loved one’s cremated remains following their cremation service in LaFeria, TX ? More often than not, you should try to do it on public property. As long as you follow the right steps, you’re allowed to scatter remains out at sea, in most national parks, and in lots of other desirable destinations. But if you decide that you would prefer to scatter remains on private property instead, you’re going to need to make sure you don’t break the law in the process. Find out what you’ll need to do to avoid getting yourself into trouble. See if a private property owner has rules in place that prohibit scattering remains. There are a lot of private property owners that will not allow you to scatter remains on their property under any circumstances. For example, most sports stadiums and arenas have rules against scattering remains. Places like Disney World do, too. You shouldn’t even entertain the idea of scattering a loved one’s remains after their LaFeria, TX cremation in these places. You could get yourself into some serious legal trouble if you do. Seek approval from a private property owner prior to scattering remains. If you suspect that a private property owner might not mind if you scatter their loved one’s remains on their property, you should reach out to them and ask them about it directly. There are some families, for example, that will scatter their loved one’s remains on a piece of property that their family once owned. A private property owner might not allow you to use their land to scatter their loved one’s remains, but it’s worth asking if you’re interested in doing it. Find out the best possible place to scatter your loved one’s remains on private property. In the event that a private property owner agrees to allow you to scatter a loved one’s remains on their land, you should find out the best place for you to do it. You’re obviously not going to want to scatter their remains in an area where there are always people and/or animals walking around. For your loved one’s sake, you should scatter the remains in an area where they won’t be disturbed in the foreseeable future. Ask the private property owner where they would like you to scatter the remains. Make sure you definitely want to scatter remains on private property before you do it. Once you scatter a loved one’s remains, there will be no coming back from it. You won’t be able to pick up most of the remains if you change your mind. It’s why you should think long and hard about whether or not you’ve chosen the right place to scatter the remains.
