What other choices are available for permanent memorialization?
An ash scattering has become a more widely accepted form of memorial for many families, but special care must be given to legal, environmental, social, religious, and emotional considerations. Most areas will allow an ash scattering, but even with this kind of ceremony, MasterTouch Professionals have found that most families usually still desire some kind of additional, permanent memorial. Sometimes, it makes sense not to have a scattering, because it may place another family member in the delicate position of being the one who actually disperses the mortal remains of the loved one. This is no small request, as many families have found. Also, unless a family is absolutely sure that an ash scattering is the most appropriate and permanent way of memorializing a loved one, other forms of memorial may prove to be more suitable.
