What you can do with the ashes
If a provider returns cremated remains, you can decide what to do with them on your own schedule. Confirm what the provider returns and whether the container is included.
- Keep them at home
- Cremated remains can be retained in the provider's return container or transferred to another suitable container. Ask how the return container closes and how to transfer the contents safely.
- Scatter them somewhere meaningful
- Permission and rules can apply on private property, public land and waterways. Check the current policy for the specific location before scattering.
- Memorial jewelry or keepsakes
- Some makers incorporate a portion of cremated remains into jewelry or glass. Ask how much material is needed, whether unused material is returned and how the item is sealed.
- Bury them
- A cemetery may offer urn interment. Burial on other property depends on current local and property-specific rules, so verify permission before proceeding.
