Tips For Scattering Ashes After a Cremation Service

When you decide on a cremation in a funeral home in Saskatoon for a loved one, all you have to do to take care of their needs is to secure a cremation package for them. That package will include everything they have to have and you don’t have to worry about forgetting anything or leaving anything important out. Once the cremation is complete, you are going to set your own timeline on whatever else you want to do. You can have a memorial service at any time and you can decide on a final resting place at any time. If you decide to scatter your loved one’s ashes in the future, here are some tips for that process.

Choose The Right Location

Before you scatter your loved one’s ashes, you will want to keep in mind that it is a permanent process. You can’t put the ashes back in the urn once they are scattered. For that process, you are going to want just the right location. Since you don’t have a timeline on the process, you can take your time in deciding on that location. Think about what your loved one would like, where your family can visit in the future, and what would be the most meaningful to everyone involved.

Consider A Scattering Tube

When your loved one is cremated, if you know you want to scatter their ashes, you might consider getting a scattering tube instead of an urn or the simple container the funeral home provides. You can also move your loved one’s ashes to a scattering tube later. These tubes are like a container, but they aid with the scattering process. You can scatter your loved one’s option from any container, but scattering tubes make the process easier.

Talk To Family And Friends About The Plans

If you decide on scattering after the cremation services, you will want to talk to the family members and friends that you will invite to that service about the plans. Let them know what you are thinking, when and where to be, and other details they need to know so everyone is as prepared as possible.

Consider Keeping Some Of The Ashes

You can certainly scatter all of your loved one’s ashes, if you so choose, but you can also keep some of the ashes. You might scatter most of them, but you might keep a bit of the remains to place in a cremation jewelry piece or something else. It can help you to have some of your loved one nearby as you move into the future. You can always visit the final resting place where you scattered their ashes and that will be a nice way to honor them as well, but having some of them with you might be what you want for the future.

There are lots of things to consider about direct cremation services in Saskatoon, SK and part of that is your loved one’s final resting place. If you want to scatter the ashes, ask the professionals for advice on the process.
