Scattering Information

More families are choosing to scatter their loved one’s ashes in place of traditional burial options. Choosing to scatter, verses preserving the ashes in an urn or burying them in a cemetery, is a personal choice based on personal family needs and experiences.  It is a reflection of both the increase in people choosing cremation and the growing desire by people to find their own ways to ritualize grief.  Scattering is also becoming more popular in part because fewer extended families are rooted in one specific place which limits the need to visit a family cemetery plot.

Scattering Tubes are designed and engineered to simplify the scattering process. The tubes are durable, dignified and simple to use. Each features a convenient removable lid and an industry-first, perforated “push in” tab that opens easily prior to scattering. They contain no metal or plastic components and can be recycled or composted after use. Suitable for “in-cabin” airline transportation.

At Tri-State Cremation Society, we feel it is up to each family to determine and implement whatever scattering option is most comfortable.  We leave the decision entirely up to the family.  There are many different options and with a quick internet search we are confident families can find an option suitable to them.
