A Place for Ashes

When a loved one passes on one possible choice is cremation. However, it is important that enough people agree what will happen in your family not to create extreme friction.
If your loved one is not scattered if cremated in the ocean beyond the prescribed limit then another choice would be(anywhere on earth) that it is legal to do this, find a site that was meaningful or sacred to you and your loved one and scatter their ashes there. Since I am of Celtic Stock I like the idea of scattering ashes near a rock and moving out Zen or Celtic fashion in a spiral out to 20 or 30 or more feet in diameter.I prefer scattering to the right or clockwise which is a more Buddhist style but I know if you are in the Hindu tradition to the left or counterclockwise is the preferred method. In this way one is scattering the ashes to the four winds and empowering the soul in my way of thinking. However, as long as it is legal where you plan to scatter your ashes whatever you do to help your loved one on in a good way should be fine according to your wishes and traditions.
