Some Of The Things You Need To Know Before Scattering Ashes In Florida

By Susan Cole


Immortality is a fictional theory. At some point, we all pass away and are no longer of this world. After death, the first thing people do is starting up plans for the burial. Burial is the most common way of biding our loved one goodbye. Cremation comes in at a close second. Some people prefer to be cremated for their own personal reasons. Below are some of the laws on scattering ashes in Florida.

Cremation has become very common in todays world. This is especially for people who do not want a large ceremony. After cremation, the family members get to decide on what to do with the ashes. Some people leave them to the cremators while some come back for them. They may decide to keep the house in a special place in the house to scatter them.

Public lands are one of the places where a scattering of cremated human ashes is prohibited. This is because it actually affects the public. These lands include stadiums, public parks among many other places. It would be really disturbing for example, if people went to give their loved ones a sendoff at Disney land. People would be uncomfortable and leave.

Federal lands are a place where you can easily be allowed to hold the smattering ceremony. As the name suggests, these are lands owned by the government. As aforementioned, they include national parks. This, however, does not mean that you can scatter the residues at the zoo. The national reserves are a place where people can rarely wander on foot.

Public waters are also another place that scattering should not be done. By public waters, it means the water that is used by the public. For example, from lakes, rivers and streams. This water is usually treated and directed to the residences of people. Disposing of the ash to hear may lead to consumption of little particles of human remains.

Private properties are also a place that the scattering can be performed. These private properties may be belonging to you, the deceased, or to a third party. In the event that it belongs to a third party, it is best to seek their permission before proceeding. It would be inappropriate not to regardless if they were a close friend of the diseased or not.

It would be really creepy for people to come into contact with cremation ash. The disposing of the residues is required to be done in a discreet and respectful way. So as you spread out the ashes, make sure that you do not pile them on one spot leaving them as obvious evidence. It would be best to conduct the ceremony on a windy day.

The means of the disposal are entirely up to you. You can do it from a boat, a helicopter, on canoes, or whichever method. The law does not state anything regarding disposal from the air and it can, therefore, be done so long as all the other requirements are met.
