Families who choose cremation for their departed loved ones can either choose to keep the cremains or scatter them. Just because some decided to scatter the ashes, it doesn’t mean it’s less special. This is only a different way to commemorate and honour a loved one’s passing.
Here are the five ways to do it.
1. Prepare your scattering urn.
Those who opt to keep the ashes, there are varieties of adult cremation urns they can choose from. They are designed to last long and sometimes styled to be decorative. However, if family members choose to scatter the ashes, they don’t need to purchase the traditional urn. It’s better that they choose the appropriate urn, scattering urns.
Scattering urns are available in various colours and styles. Some of them are made for scattering the ashes at the sea, river, or lakes, others are better suited for scattering on land, and some are suited for both. Some scattering ashes urns are biodegradable; they can float on the water or be buried into the ground where they will dissolve or return to earth. These are perfect for scattering the cremains as they are designed to be temporary vessels for the ashes until they return to earth. Some scattering urns can be dissolved and there are a few that can be recycled or reused—making scattering urns safer for the environment.
Before going to the location to scatter the urn, make sure you purchase the right scattering tube for the cremains.
2. Cast the remains into the wind.
This is applicable if one decides to scatter the ashes into the wind. Before scattering and depending on the family member’s beliefs, they can read a comforting verse from the Bible or say a prayer.
