In California, where can Cremated remains be Scattered?
California Health and Safety code governs the scattering of Cremated remains, and this code allows remains to be scattered where no local prohibition exists, with the written permission of the property owner or governing agency. Scattering at sea, or the inland navigable waters of the state, must be conduced 500 yards off shore. Scattering into lakes and streams is not allowed, nor is the scattering from a bridge or pier.
