For Funeral Homes & Industry Partners

A Non-Competitive Scattering Option for Legacy Cremation Families

Farmstead Scattering Garden provides a mail-in cremated remains scattering service designed specifically to support funeral homes and cemeteries—without competing for services, visitation, or ceremonies.

An Industry Partner

Located on a fourth-generation working farm in northwestern Pennsylvania, our model offers funeral professionals a practical solution for families who return months or years after cremation asking what to do with the cremated remains. The service is frequently used by funeral professionals seeking a simple, documented scattering option for legacy cremation cases or delayed disposition decisions.

Designed to Complement Funeral Home Services

Farmstead Scattering Garden was intentionally structured to avoid overlap with traditional funeral services.

Mail-in only; families do not visit the farm
No ceremonies, memorials, or gatherings
No onsite events or facilitated rituals
No staff coordination or follow-up required from the funeral home

Funeral homes remain the primary service provider. Farmstead Scattering Garden functions as a back-end disposition option, particularly appropriate for legacy cremains and post-cremation decisions made months or years later.

Clear Process. Documented Completion.

Families receive step-by-step communication throughout the process, providing clarity while minimizing follow-up questions for funeral homes.

Clients are notified when:

Cremated remains are received
Scattering has been scheduled
Scattering has been completed

The process concludes with a written note of closure, which includes:

A brief description of the day
A small number of photographs
A map showing the general scattering location on the farm

This documentation provides families with reassurance and finality without creating additional administrative burden for funeral professionals.

Appropriate for Human and Pet Cremains

Farmstead Scattering Garden accommodates both human and pet cremains, allowing families to complete disposition in a single, consistent manner when desired.

Land Stewardship Without Perpetual Care

The scattering garden is located on an active cattle farm in continuous agricultural use. This approach eliminates the need for memorial infrastructure, ongoing maintenance, or perpetual care obligations, while maintaining respectful land stewardship.
