“The last person who had the ashes of a loved one scattered was John Paul Getty, who died in 1976. In his will, he instructed that his ashes be spread over the Pacific Ocean. The media at the time said it was because he hated funerals, but in reality, his brother said Getty wanted to be remembered by everyone.” [5]
While many people have been upset with having their ashes scattered at sea, most of those who have requested this service have been satisfied with their results, and most have found it to be something they would do again. Some people ask that they be scattered at sea when they die so as not to be buried.[6] Some others feel that being cremated and buried is too much for them.[7] Some families wish to scatter the ashes of their loved ones at sea because they want their family member’s final resting place to be an ocean environment rather than a cemetery or mausoleum.[8] Some people charge a small fee for these services, while others do not charge anything for them.[9]
Where to scatter ashes
Ashes should be scattered where people are unlikely to walk, like on top of a mountain or at the bottom of the ocean. If you’re scattering ashes on land and want them to be preserved as long as possible, place them in an urn and bury them in your backyard soil. The Earth will absorb moisture from the air around it so that your beloved remains moist and fresh for years (if not decades).
Choose a slope that makes it easy for the wind to blow the remains away from other people.
Choose a slope that makes it easy for the wind to blow the remains away from other people. If you choose a steep, narrow, and narrow sloped area, it will be harder for people to access your ashes. Make sure not to scatter your ashes in a place where many people are walking by or standing nearby because this can create an unsafe situation for yourself and others nearby.
Choose a manageable slope. This means that if you are scattering ashes at sea level (or higher), then make sure that there aren’t any rocks or other obstacles on top of which could cause damage during travel through air currents caused by rising wind speeds during certain times of day when they’re strongest.
Flatten and scatter quickly unless you are directing the wind yourself.
If you’re looking to scatter ashes in Hawaii, it’s important to note that there are many different ways of scattering. Some people prefer doing it themselves, while others prefer hiring professionals. Some people want their loved ones scattered at sea or on land, while others prefer spreading them on the ground but want the wind direction moved, so they don’t have to do any work themselves (this is called “directional scattering”).
If your loved one is going out by plane and wants their remains spread horizontally across a long distance, please ask for help from someone who has experience flying planes around Hawaii. The only thing worse than being buried with no direction would be having your remains fall into the ocean without anyone knowing why!
Avoid erratic winds.
If you’re scattering from a plane or helicopter, avoid areas with people, buildings, or power lines.

It’s also essential to ensure you don’t scatter ashes over the ocean and other bodies of water. The last thing anyone wants is their loved one’s remains to end up in someone else’s backyard!
Create a gentle slope at least 4 feet deep.
Try not to scatter too far onto the properties of people who aren’t your family members.
Keep in mind the amount of ash you have and whether or not it can be refilled.
Before you scatter your loved one’s ashes, it is essential to consider the amount of ash you have and whether or not it can be refilled. What do you do if an urn is empty and cannot hold any more ashes?
The amount of ashes that can be placed in an urn is based on how big the container is. A typical size for most standard pots is 5-10 pounds of ash (or about 1-2 kilograms). However, some larger containers are available if needed by those who wish to order custom ones instead. The weight limit also depends on where they will be used — if they’re being sent overseas or out into space, then extra care needs to be taken when transporting them beyond Earth’s gravity field!
After cremation, the ashes are returned to relatives. Often these ashes are buried in single plots or spread across rural areas.
In most cultures, many religions restrict how an individual’s remains should be treated at the time of death and after death. This can range from a simple burial in a designated casket with specified rites performed by those instructed to do so to more harsh treatment, such as being boiled in oil, burned like a pile of wood, or thrown into the sea. In some cultures, burial is prohibited entirely (such as in Islam). In other cultures where cremation is not allowed for religious reasons, there is often a compromise that allows for one method of disposing of deceased bodies but not both; this usually occurs when an issue has arisen over which way should be used. An example of this would be if cremation was forbidden for religious reasons but buried human remains were brought back from overseas for return to their homeland and had become too costly to cremate and bury at home. The solution was then found in transporting them back to another territory with either more land or less cost due partly to lower duties/taxes on shipping rates as well as faster supply lines and transportation fees than those equal distance routes could provide (if they allowed corralling at all), thus allowing the remains to be buried instead.
