Many families are choosing to scatter their loved ones cremated remains following their Fair Oaks, CA cremations these days. If your family is interested in doing this, you will be able to scatter a loved one’s remains in a variety of different places. You will also be able to stage an ash scattering ceremony for a loved one right before you scatter their remains in these places. Here is a guide on how to plan the perfect ash-scattering ceremony for your loved one.

Choose the right place to hold an ash scattering ceremony for a loved one.

Prior to starting to put together plans for a loved one’s ash scattering ceremony, you should give some thought to where you would like to hold it. This will obviously mean thinking about where exactly you want to scatter your loved one’s remains after their cremation services in Fair Oaks, CA. You can scatter their remains at sea, on a mountaintop, or even in a national park. It’ll be up to you to pick the place so that you can begin mapping out all the different aspects of their ash scattering ceremony.

Bring a celebrant along to host an ash scattering ceremony.

If someone from your own family would like to host an ash scattering ceremony for your loved one, they’re free to do it. But you might also want to consider hiring a celebrant to host the ceremony so that you and your family can focus on mourning your loved one’s loss versus worrying about keeping their ash-scattering ceremony moving along.

Pick out the right songs, readings, etc. for your loved one’s ash scattering ceremony.

Regardless of whether you choose to hire a celebrant to help you out with a loved one’s ash scattering ceremony or not, you should include a bunch of good songs, readings, etc. in it. You should also make it a point to choose songs, readings, etc. that remind you of your loved one or that your loved one liked. It’ll make your loved one’s ash scattering ceremony more special than it would be otherwise.

Be sure to invite all the right people to your loved one’s ash scattering ceremony.

You aren’t necessarily going to be able to invite everyone that you know to a loved one’s ash scattering ceremony. You might not have the space to do this depending on where the ceremony will be held. But you should try to get as many of your immediate family members to the ash scattering ceremony as you can. You don’t want to forget to invite someone and have to hear about it later on.
