How to Spread Ashes in Union, NJ

Is it illegal to spread ashes in Union?

No, it is not illegal to spread ash from a cremated body in New Jersey. There is no state-wide ban around the spreading of human ashes. However, spreading ashes on public property will require state approval and private properties may prohibit spreading ashes without permission. Check with local authorities and or your funeral director for details

It is, however, important to be mindful of others when spreading ashes. Even though ashes from the cremation process are completely non-toxic, spreading them in a crowded area could make some people uncomfortable. We recommend avoiding urban areas and venturing into the picturesque surroundings of Union.

How to Spread Ashes After A Cremation in Union, NJ

In the wind :

If you choose to scatter your loved one’s remains yourself, we highly recommend the use of a scattering tube. Scattering tubes allow for easy and elegant dispersing of ashes in the wind. Simply remember to face away from the wind. Also known as carrying urns, they are specifically designed for outdoor dispersal, something a more traditional urn can make difficult and awkward.

In the Ocean:

The EPA is clear that any disposal of human remains at sea needs to take place at least 3 miles from shore.  If you are considering committing ashes to the ocean in a container, it needs to be biodegradable and may require a burial at sea permit. Rent or charter a boat on a day with a calm sea and either disperse the ashes into the wind or gently scatter them on the water surface.

At the Beach:

Letting ashes be washed away by the waves is another popular option. Start by digging a small, shallow hole by the water’s edge, just close enough for the waves to wash in and out of it. Then, pour the ashes into the hole and they will be carried away to sea wave by wave.

In the River:

If you want to use the Delaware river, we suggest gently spreading the ashes near the water surface, preferably on a day without much wind. Try to do so at least 1 mile away from any riverside buildings or facilities. Not only will it prevent any complaints from property owners, but it also makes for a more personal farewell.

In the Ground:

You can also bury the ashes at a place of your choosing. To do so, dig a shallow trench and pour the remains into it. Cover it up with soil and take a moment to remember. Do not bury the urn. If you want to store the urn and the ashes somewhere other than home, consider a burial plot at your local cemetery or a place in a vault.

Whichever option suits you best, feel free to raise a glass with family members and friends during the scattering, celebrate a life lived and memories cherished.
