Options for Scattering Remains After Cremation Services

When you want to scatter remains after a cremation service, you can rake them go with a water burial, scatter them, or do a number of other things for your loved one.

There are lots of options included with  cremation services in LaGrange, IL  after a loved one passes away. You will want to decide what kind of memorial you want to have, if any, whether or not you want an urn, and what to do with the remains after the cremation is complete. There are plenty of options to consider. If you’d like to avoid burial and you don’t want to keep the remains in your home, here are some choices to consider.  

Raking 

Raking remains is something that has grown in popularity over the years. You might be able to do this in a garden, on a beach, or even in a cemetery. When you rake the remains, you place the ashes in the dirt or sand and rake/mix them in. You might say something about your loved one as you do that, share some memories, sing a song, or have someone read a poem. It can be another way of bringing closure and peace to the situation.

You might love the idea of placing your loved one in a body of water, if they loved to be fishing out in a boat more than anything, or swimming in the summer when they grew up. Consider a water burial where you can tip the urn into the body of water and let the current spread your loved one around. You could also place a whole, biodegradable urn in the water and let is disintegrate over time. The urns come in many different options and you can get something that dissolves and doesn’t harm the ecosystem in the water.

Casting

Casting the remains is the most chosen options. You scatter the remains and that’s what people usually think of when they hear “scattering.” You can have this ceremony on public grounds or even on private land with the right permission. This ceremony can be a nice way to get closure and to punctuate another memorial service you had for your loved one. It might also be the only service you have, if you want to do something simple and straightforward for your loved one.
