How to Scatter Cremated Remains: Ashes

Cremated remains are not the film version — they are bone fragments reduced mechanically, granular and heavy like coarse sand, and only the finest fraction actually blows. That single fact explains most of the planning, and the piece works the full sequence: the law first (private property, parks, water rules all differ and require research), then the technique (casting, trenching, raking, water, air), and the ceremony around the act.

You get the mistakes that ruin a scattering, starting with the unverified location, and the practical next steps that start with the research. Use it as your own guide to planning the day.
