Scattering Ashes is No Longer The Exception

We hear it a lot these days. “Just scatter my ashes and have a big party”.

Well that sounds pretty easy and parties are fun, right? It should be easy, but without some thoughtful planning, survivors are faced with many unanswered questions. Often the scattering is put off because of all the questions and the ashes often end up on the top shelf in the hallway closet indefinitely.

Scattering Ashes in Alaska — Places of Natural Beauty Are Often Selected

Helping people learn how to have a creative and meaningful scattering ceremony is a large part of the reason that Cremation Solutions exist. Families are grateful to learn that they can create a meaningful event and still follow the persons request to “just scatter me”. Scattering ashes is often the final act of love survivors can participate in. Scattering is nothing less than a committal service, it is an event that should contain ceremony and ritual. It is important for family and friends to experience a meaningful and memorable final tribute. In some cases it is the only tribute, so let’s do our best. People who choose to have their ashes scattered do not consider scattering to be any less respectful or meaningful than any other disposition option. In fact, families that have scattered are experiencing a higher level of satisfaction. They consider scattering to be a more natural way to return to the earth. Scattering also allows families the flexibility of choosing a site that is personable and has special meaning to the deceased and the survivors. Sites with natural beauty are also often selected.

Scattering a friends ashes — Some Take Turns Scattering a Friends Ashes

The decision to scatter ashes is no longer unique. With more than half of all cremated Americans and Canadians as well choosing the scattering of ashes, scattering is NOW the #1 disposition of cremated remains in the United States and Canada and continues to grow. Funeral professionals are the only ones that aren’t catching on. Most funeral professionals consider scattering a dirty and unprofitable choice of final disposition. They will help you get buried or interred. They will help you create funeral and memorial events, but when the choice is to scatter, they will help you as far as the door! Some of the more progressive funeral homes now offer special urns for families that choose to scatter the ashes, but that’s about as far as it goes. Cremation Solutions was started when our founder, a funeral director for over twenty years noticed how those who choose to scatter have been neglected by the funeral professionals in general. Cremation Solutions has grown to become the #1 resource for those choosing to scatter.

Here are some things to consider when planning a scattering ceremony. Hopefully a funeral or memorial event will take place before the scattering ceremony. Planning these events are what funeral professionals are really good at. Even if you’re not having public viewing and or visitation, you should still give survivors the chance to gather and celebrate the life that was lived. This helps survivors not only with the healing process but also to continue important relationships with each other and to support those who really need it. Now for the scattering ceremony you should consider first if you want a public ceremony or will it just be the family gathering. For a public ceremony, you might want the scattering to follow the memorial event, just like when a procession follows to the cemetery for committal services. Will more than one person scatter the ashes or will there be a chance to share in the scattering of ashes. Will the gathering be at the place of the scattering or somewhere else, either before or after? Will they do more than one scattering if there are relatives or friends in another part of the country? If people know the date and time the scattering will occur, they can then take that time to honor the memory of the deceased in their own way.

Because of the popularity of scattering ashes, suppliers to the funeral industry have been inventive and prolific in providing ways to remember. Three popular product types that relate specifically to families that desire to scatter are scattering urns, keepsakes, and keepsake jewelry. Scattering style cremation urns can be displayed at services, creating a focal point and sense of reality. They allow the cremated remains to be easily disbursed while adding dignity to the process. The location of the ash scattering sometimes determines the style of scattering urn to be used. The most popular location is over water and there are many water soluble urns that are specifically designed for this purpose. The second most popular location is on the family property. Birdhouse memorial scattering urns are a great option for these families because they are scattering urns that will convert into a memorial birdhouse, providing comfort for the years to come. Some scattering urns can be kept as an art piece or provide a place to keep mementos of the deceased or be used as a vase. Because scattering is irreversible, keeping portions of the ashes is even more important to the family that chooses to scatter. If families relocate, they can be left with feelings of abandonment. Keepsake urns and jewelry help provide the comforting knowledge that part of the earthly remains can always be kept close. They come in many sizes and styles and often match the style of the scattering urn. Keepsakes can be used to contain the ashes as well as jewelry, hair or other mementos of the deceased.

Scattering is nothing new, it has been happening for over a thousand years, but it has lost much of its ritual, most of which never made its way into modern times. Research tells us that today’s families still want meaningful celebrations of life with ceremony and personal memorable tributes. The people of today just won’t settle for the cookie cutter, insert name here funeral service anymore. Many are hiring or consulting with funeral celebrants to help create and a more meaningful and memorable event.

Funeral celebrants are ceremony specialists who have a sound background in the history of ritual, ceremony and funeral traditions in many cultures and religions. Funeral Celebrants have been drawn to this work by a strong realization that every life has meaning and deserves to be celebrated and celebrated well. Many have experienced grief themselves. All are convinced that funerals can be a valuable source of healing. Nothing can take away the grief, but a genuine, well prepared tribute may ease the pain. Whether your family is secular, religious, spiritual or interfaith, or if you simply wish to express yourself in a manner of your own, choosing a Celebrant can help to create a meaningful, memorable, fitting end of life tribute.

As a response for so many wanting to scatter in the perfect location, a new company has risen from the ashes. You can now hire a professional ash scattering service that will scatter the ashes in the holiest of all locations. In their private memorial scattering garden Holyland Ash Scattering will scatter your ashes on the land where Jesus lived and taught his followers. Now anyone can follow Jesus for all eternity by arranging their final tribute in this very special location. This service is available through any funeral home. Survivors will even receive a video of the actual scattering in Israel. To have final rest where our spiritual roots were set in the beginning is to be truly blessed.

Sacred Ashes

Judy had not opened the box the funeral director had handed her almost a year ago. Just holding the bag when he handed it to her had made her knees buckle and she had to sit before falling. The reality was the earthly remains of her husband were inside the box and she just couldn’t face the reality that his glorious body has been reduced to a few pounds of ash. The scattering was to be in a month and the 6 x 6 box had never been opened. It was slowly building on her nerves and she knew she didn’t want the scattering ceremony to be the first time she confronted the reality. She knew she wanted to see , feel and smell the ashes in private before the ash scattering event. One sleepless night she knew it was time, her hand’s shook as cut away the brown tape and opened the box. She removed a twist tie from the plastic bag inside the box and there was John!. Tears fell like rain drops as she ran her finger through the John’s ashes.

She had read that the ashes were heavy and course. They were grayish and white and she imagined johns spirit talking to her as she examined the bits and pieces of bone ash. Her larger than life husband and best friend was now in the palm of her hand. She stroked the ashes and as marveled at the strange reality that seemed so unreal.
As she regained control of her emotions and feelings she realized the remains were still beloved and sacred. Nothing was scary anymore. She had already been devastated by her loss months ago and nothing could compare with the actual loss of her husband. Though she knew he was not in the box, she gained comfort speaking to the ashes and thanking John for the years of love. She could now be comfortable as she walked past the ashes as they rested on the mantel. Her sister had purchased an urn that was made for the scattering of ashes and together they put the ashes inside. Having the ashes in the handsome wood scattering urn made Judy remember his fondness of nature and trees. Her sister told her that after the scattering on Johns favorite hiking trail the urn was specially designed to serve as a memorial birdhouse that they would put in John’s garden.
As a funeral director and crematory operator for over twenty years it is good for me to share Judy’s story as it serves as a reminder that we in the funeral business do not simply handle ashes and urns. Like bodies and caskets we are honored to be entrusted with the care of others loved one’s. Like our physical bodies, ashes are our earthly remains and should be treated as so. The idea that so many in this business still hand over the ashes when a cremation urn is not selected, in the ugliest cardboard or plastic we can find disgust me! At least they should use a fancy gift box or tasteful cardboard urn. The reflection on your funeral business is also questioned. The time I heard a family member telling a friend that the cremation cost $2000.00 and they gave mom back to us in this box. That’s all I needed to hear to know it was wrong.
I was visiting a funeral director in Maine a few years ago and I was impressed when he showed me how his funeral home turned the ashes over to the family. Once the ashes were signed for he would guide the family member or members to a tasteful quite side room. There on a table in the corner of the room stood the urn. The warm glow of a white tapered nice candle flickered beside the urn and a fresh red rose laid at the base of the Cremation urn. Once in the room he would invite them to sit on the couch and take as long as they needed as he left the room. Some would take a minute and some an hour. The important part was they had the time and space for themselves as long as they needed. When they were ready they would let him know and he would then come and place the urn in a tasteful bag and offer to carry it out to the car. I learned from him, how less traumatizing this simple and dignified this thoughtful handover of ashes could be and I never handed another cremation urn over in a funeral home bag again. Remember we are creating an experience for the families we serve, this is just one way to show you care and are sensitive to the needs of the families who have entrusted your services.
The majority of people choosing cremation today will also choosing to scatter the ashes of their loved one. Most do not know where, only that it should be a special and sacred location.

What to do with Unclaimed Ashes

Whether it’s in a basement, a storage closet, or lined up on a shelf, every funeral home has them – unclaimed ashes.

Cremation Ashes in Storage — Are You in the Business of Storing Ashes

It’s estimated that approximately one percent of cremation ashes are not claimed. As the number of cremations performed each year increases, those numbers can start to add up. For funeral homes it can mean storing the remains in a climate-controlled room for decades.

There are many reasons cremated remains are not picked up. Before prepaid funerals, some families didn’t have the money to pay the funeral home’s bill and therefore were reluctant to come by the funeral home. Some families aren’t especially close and no one family member wants to take responsibility for their relative. In some instances, the survivors simply don’t know what to do with the remains, so they do nothing. Their mostly just uninformed of all the options. Many don’t even know about scattering urns and cremation jewelry.

Holy Land Ash Scattering can assist in decreasing funeral home’s inventories of ashes and remove the liability of storing ashes indefinitely. Holyland Ash Scattering has developed a private memorial scattering garden in the Holyland. The company will take care of all of the details to arrange safe and secure shipping of the ashes to their office in Israel. The ashes will then be scattered in the most spiritual place in the world. Overlooking the Sea of Galilee, in the hills where Jesus lived and taught, their private memorial garden is a sacred place for a secure, final disposition for all time.

To further commemorate the sacred scattering ceremony, the company professionally videotapes and preserves this event on DVD as well as a YouTube download, to give client families added piece of mind, and as keepsake to watch and share with friends and family. A handsome framed certificate of scattering is also included as an heirloom gift to give the family.

Body Parts From 911 Attack on the Pentagon Were Treated Like Medical Waste

I would first like to point out that we are only talking about the Pentagon attack and not the other sites attacked on 911. The the people in charge of the recovery and disposition in New York and Pennsylvania, did their best to treat every body as a hero and all recoverable parts, even as small as a fingernail with the utmost respect. The story below conveys that at the Pentagon it was a different story and in the end, the partial remains were handled differently then the intact fallen victims recovered from the site. My personal view is that every recoverable piece of human flesh and bones is a person and should be treated as so. I can understand that each bit can not be identified and returned to survivors and there is some commingling accruing, but the landfill should not ever be considered as a final resting site. There are many opinions on how to handle such remains and I would like to hear them and or government needs to hear them. What do you think? My personal recommendation would be to cremate remains in this condition, but commingling the ashes into cremation urns does not fell right to me. A ash scattering garden on the grounds of the Pentagon or maybe in Arlington National Cemetery seems more fitting. A public scattering ceremony performed by a trained Funeral Celebrant would provide a non- denominational style of ceremony and would create a environment of healing and closure. A communal monument where names could be etched would honor and give a focal point where survivors could visit makes sense to me. We really need to make sure this does not happen again, so please share your thoughts and lets join our voices and get the message to our elected officials that we will not stand for this kind of disrespect anymore!

Air Force Officials Discussed Burial at Sea for Remains From Pentagon Attack
By ELISABETH BUMILLER, NY Times
WASHINGTON — American military officials discussed scattering Ashes at sea some unidentified remains of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the Pentagon, but the officials were overruled and the remains were burned and dumped in a landfill, according to Defense Department documents released on Friday.

In nearly 2,000 heavily redacted pages, the documents show that an Air Force colonel — the name is blacked out — wrote in an August 2002 e-mail,

“I do like the idea of spreading the ashes at sea.” However, the colonel’s superior, also unnamed, responded that “we shouldn’t attempt to spread the residue at sea” because it might “send a message” to the victims’ families “that we are disposing of human remains, and that is not the case.”

The documents were the latest disclosures about problems at the mortuary at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, the entry point for the nation’s war dead. The papers show how officials at Dover struggled over what to do with small, unidentified biological remains that were mixed in with rubble from the Pentagon. In the end, without telling the victims’ families, they determined that the remains — some 1,321 portions in all — should be treated like medical waste.

Much of the information in the documents has been previously released, including the fact that unidentified remains from the Pentagon attack, which were sent to Dover, were cremated and placed in containers provided to a biomedical waste disposal contractor, which then incinerated them and put them in a landfill. But the documents revealed for the first time that military officials initially discussed Scattering the ashes in the Atlantic Ocean, but ended up following the lead of the unnamed superior, who evidently was worried that families would think of the small portions as “human” if they were treated with the respect of a burial at sea.

Air Force officials said Friday that the superior was following guidance handed down from top Pentagon officials about how to dispose of the remains.

When the military first disclosed last month that some Sept. 11 Pentagon victims’ remains were burned and dumped in a landfill, some people were shocked that even unidentified body parts would be treated in such a way.

Pentagon officials were at the time reluctant to say much in public about the nature of the remains, given the sensitivities of the victims’ families and the emotions surrounding 9/11.

But at a news conference on Friday, Jo Ann Rooney, an acting under secretary of defense, offered a more telling, if graphic, description of the kind of remains that were burned and sent to a landfill. She said they were small portions that laboratory analysis judged as “biological,” although not necessarily human. “It could have been something from someone’s lunch,” she said.

Ms. Rooney also said it was impossible to determine if the remains had been mixed in with those from the terrorists who crashed United Flight 77 into the Pentagon.

Some other partial remains from the attack on the Pentagon have been cremated and buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Remains that were identified as those of the terrorists were sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The practice of landfill disposal, which was also used for some unidentified remains of war dead, has since been stopped. After cremation, the ashes are now put in Cremation urns and buried at sea.

The Dover mortuary has been under fire the past year for what the Air Force has called “gross mismanagement” for losing the body parts of two service members, repeated failures of command, doing little to correct sloppy practices and sawing off the protruding arm bone of a dead Marine without informing his family. Three top Dover officials are no longer in their jobs and the Air Force now says practices at the mortuary have improved.

The new documents also shed light on problems at the mortuary that the Pentagon has only hinted at in the past. In September 2005, the documents show, the remains of two service members were almost sent to the wrong families, but Dover officials figured out the problem and switched them at the Philadelphia airport.

“Both sets of remains arrived at the proper destination on time without outside embarrassment to the Air Force,” the documents said, noting that the military official responsible for the mistake was not disciplined.

The documents show that the widow of a Marine was paid $25,000 in 2008 as compensation for the mortuary’s loss of her husband’s wedding ring, wallet and dog tags. It was the widow’s desire that her husband be buried with his wedding ring, a letter from an unnamed person who appears to be the woman’s lawyer states, “and she is experiencing great grief over this miscarriage of justice.”

The Pentagon briefed family members of the Pentagon 9/11 victims about the documents on Friday morning.
