Is scattering ashes legal?
The law in Ontario states that no person is to scatter human remains at a place other than at a scattering ground operated by a licensed individual. Many cemeteries offer the service at an additional charge. We suggest you discuss this question with your funeral director. As well, if you are seeking information about laws or regulations regarding the scattering of ashes outside of Ontario or outside Canada,you should seek direction from local government officials regarding regulations.
