What are some consequences that arise from the scattering of cremated remains?
First of all, you need to know whether it is legal to do so. And, depending on where they are scattered, family members may not be able to visit the site whenever they wish. In fact, the site might be redeveloped and never be accessible again. It is also important to consider how the scattering may transform that place, affecting future visits, because it is now a cemetery. Many cemeteries, however, have areas for scattering, or “common ground”, enabling visits whenever one wishes – forever.
