There are two main options to consider when a loved one passes on. You can have a funeral and burial for them or you can have cremation services in Upper Darby, PA. If you go with cremation, you have plenty of options to consider for a final resting place. You can bury their remains in the cemetery, in a family garden, or in other locations. You can also keep the remains in a place of honor in your home. Or, another popular option is to scatter their ashes. If you decide on scattering, the next decision you need to make is where you are going to scatter the ashes. Keep in mind that just as cremation is a permanent solution, so is scattering those ashes. Here are some of the locations you might consider (with care) for that process.


A Favorite Family Vacation Spot


Perhaps your family always met at a certain cabin over the summer months. Or, maybe you had a reunion in a certain centralized city as the years went by. Those spots hold a lot of memories and you think of your loved one in a happy manner when you remember those times. You might want to scatter your loved one somewhere peaceful and somewhere there are good memories to surround them. Those favorite spots are a good option to consider.


A Garden In The Area


If your loved one had a green thumb and could grow anything, placing them in a garden as their final resting place might feel natural. You can bury them in the garden or scatter their ashes and rake them into the soil so they can help foster new life and growth. You might put them in your home garden or a community garden that they helped to grow.


A Water Burial


There are some people who find comfort on the water and if your loved one was always out on the fishing boat or walking around the local lake and feeding the ducks, perhaps you feel like a water burial in a special body of water is the right move. Make sure you follow the rules around that water area and give your loved one a resting place you appreciate, and know they would, too.


In An Area Park


There’s nothing quite like fresh air and if your loved one spent a lot of time in the park, walking, playing frisbee golf, riding their bike, and other such things, their final resting place is natural. You can scatter them in that park, perhaps in the forest, off the path, or in other areas. Talk to the local municipality to find out what the regulations are in the area before you scatter.


There are more locations to scatter remains after cremation services in Upper Darby, PA than you could ever imagine, but only one will feel like the exact right spot for your loved one. The professionals can offer ideas and options to help you get the right final resting place.
