While there is an increasing interest for cremation, yet this growing preference still remains a puzzling mystery for some.

But cremation is no mystery. Aside from reduced expenses, flexibility and convenience, it is perceived as a better final release for a loved one.

Now that cremation has become popular, the next challenge-quandary of the practice is whether to keep the cremated remains in an urn. Other choices may be to disperse the remains on a body of water, in a park, or private property.

It must be made known that the correct term to use is “cremains”, instead of the popular “ashes.” Cremating companies say that “cremains” are bone fragments that have been mechanically reduced well.

Apart from the idealism of the act of scattering cremains in your desired location, there are certain regulations that must be followed prior to carrying out the act of scattering the cremains. States and provinces have different guidelines and regulations.

If you own the property where you wish to scatter the cremains, the law says that you should inform the new owners should you sell your property. Scattering cremains to any body of water is best aimed at open waters like the sea or ocean. It is prohibited to taint inland water bodies with cremains.

When it is government-regulated, it comes with a price. There are different prices set with the desire to scatter the cremains.

The most interesting is the dispersing of the cremains to the sea. This can be done with the aid of specialized sea-scattering services, or by guiding a boat yourself. Doing it yourself can be tiresome. You have to fulfill a list of requirements from the Canadian Environmental Protection (the counterpart of Environmental Protection Agency in the USA).

The dedicated sea-scattering services can be pricey, whether attended or unattended. While in doing it by yourself, you must only ensure that you are not less than 3 miles away from the coastline.
