Human Ash Scattering Service

Farmstead Scattering Garden offers a mail-in human ash scattering service. This service is perfect for those looking for a respectful and meaningful way to celebrate and commemorate a loved one’s life or those planning for themselves.

Many people are unsure of what to do with cremation ashes. Farmstead Scattering allows you to create a meaningful final chapter of your loved one’s legacy. Whether we’re laying them to rest in the forest among the trees or in a lush bed of wildflowers, you can craft a ceremony that aligns with your vision.

To make the ceremony memorable, select a time of day, season, and/or specific day on which you would like the ashes to be scattered. Additionally, you can select from a variety of experiences and weather options during which the ashes will be scattered.

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

To stay connected with your loved one for years to come, you can always check in with our Farmstead Scattering Garden Facebook page, where we regularly post pictures and videos of the farm's pastoral views, wildlife, and many activities.

How It Works

To alleviate the emotional challenges of losing a loved one, we’ve simplified the ash scattering process as much as possible. With Farmstead Scattering, you can mail cremated remains from anywhere in the United States. Upon checkout, you’ll receive mailing instructions via email. Once the cremated remains arrive, we honor your loved one by scattering their ashes on our working farm following your customizations.

You can also indicate whether you would like the urn returned to you. If you have any questions, please visit our Contact Page and let us know how we can help.

We will do our best to customize your experience as you envision it. However, common sense will prevail in mixing and matching timing choices and experiences with weather options. For instance, if you choose a horseback experience, please do not choose a thunderstorm or snowstorm weather option, as it will not be safe for the horses to be out in that weather.

Farmstead Scattering offers a wide range of pre-planning times. However, we're only able to accommodate pre-planning services that fall within a five-year timeframe.
