Many families choose cremation for their loved ones as a final disposition method—or perhaps their loved one chose it themselves. After Longwood, FL cremation takes place, the family can have a memorial service of some kind, if they wish, or even a celebration of life. After those services have taken place, many families like to have a smaller, more intimate gathering for an ash scattering ceremony. During this time, the family perhaps says a few words, does a reading, sings a song, or something else of that nature and then they scatter their loved one’s ashes. Where should these ashes be placed? Here are a few options:

Private Land

If the family owns the private property, such as a family acreage or something of that nature, it is up to you what happens on that land. You are welcome to scatter your loved one there and many people are comforted by the idea that their loved one is home, where they belong. However, if you are going to scatter the ashes on private land that does not belong to you, you must get permission from the owner. It’s best to get that permission in writing so there are no misunderstandings later.

Public Grounds

If you want to scatter your loved one’s ashes in a public park or another public location, look into the details with that area’s board. There’s usually an organization in charge of the area and you can go to them for information as to whether or not it’s allowed, where it can be done, when, and so on.
