Types Of Ashes Spreading Ceremonies

January 18, 2023

Here are some tips on scattering ashes after a funeral service in a respectful manner. It is possible to spread the ashes legally with a little assistance.

A ceremony and ashes scattering are often included in funeral homes in Layton, UT. Dispersing ashes can be done in a variety of ways. Planning a ceremony or scattering ashes might require you to consider the following tips. Make sure you consult other family members to determine what is comfortable for them. 


 


Casting Ceremony 


Traditionally, ashes are dispersed in the air after being scattered. An ash ceremony uses these ashes to scatter ashes. Through casting ceremonies, loved ones' spirits can be released. There are many ways to conduct casting ceremonies. It is also possible to scatter ashes in groups, as well as individually. We will accommodate your preferences regardless of what they are. A commemorative cup is given to each family member. Making a toast with ashes is a great idea. It is also important to know the speed of the wind, as well as its direction. A downwind release of the ashes will prevent them from striking attendees. 


 


Trenching Ceremony 


A trenching ceremony also involves spreading ashes in trenches. When scattering ashes in the ground, an ash pit or trench is usually dug. After the ceremony, family members cover all trenches and holes left behind. No matter what your interests are, everyone can enjoy a trenching ceremony. Besides scattering the ashes, tree trunks and flowerbeds are also cleared of ashes. Casting ceremonies are similar to getting creative. When it comes to spelling out the deceased's name, memorial services and traversing ceremonies differ. To remember loved ones, trenches are often engraved with heart-shaped engravings. Trees, flowers, and famous objects are often surrounded by trenches. Besides clothing, jerseys, candles, and other items, you can put pictures, jerseys, or candles in the center. 


 


Sky or Aerial Ceremony 


There has been an increase in the amount of ash falling from the sky over the past few years. An independent company releases ashes into the sky after a loved one passes away. There are other ways to scatter flowers besides hot air balloons. You can also choose to fly in a hang glider or a helicopter. It is usually not possible to transport ashes by plane after such a ceremony. A reservation fee is charged in addition to the ticket price. Approximately hours before the departure, a small ceremony is conducted before the scattering begins. Ash scattered by the volcano can be observed under clear skies. Photographs of aircraft scatterings can also be taken.
