Bed of Ferns Ash Scattering Service

Farmstead Scattering Garden offers a mail-in human ash scattering service in a secluded bed of ferns. This choice is ideal for those who wish to honor a loved one with a farewell surrounded by lush greenery, soft textures, and the quiet beauty of shaded woodland spaces.

Ferns have long been symbols of renewal, humility, and peace. Selecting this location places your loved one’s memory among plants that thrive in stillness and resilience, reflecting a gentle strength that endures season after season. Whether you are pre-planning for yourself or arranging a meaningful tribute for someone close, a bed of ferns provides a serene and intimate setting for this final chapter.

You may personalize the scattering by selecting a season, time of day, or significant date. Additional options—such as weather elements or experience add-ons—allow you to shape the ceremony in a way that feels most meaningful.

There is an extra fee for high-traffic days (e.g., Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc.).

To stay connected with your loved one into the future, you are welcome to visit the Farmstead Scattering Garden Facebook page, where we share images and videos of the farm, its landscapes, and the moments of quiet beauty that unfold here.

How It Works

We aim to make the process as simple and supportive as possible. After checkout, you’ll receive mailing instructions by email. Once the cremated remains arrive, we scatter them in the bed of ferns according to your chosen details. If you would like, the urn can also be returned to you.

All ceremonies are guided by safety and practicality, meaning some combinations of weather and experiences may not be possible. Farmstead Scattering also provides flexible pre-planning, with arrangements made up to five years in advance.
