About Cremains Scattering

Cremains or composted remains are best combined with nutrient rich soil to avoid harmful impact to grass and adjacent plantings, and we can provide soil for this purpose. A memorial brick inscribed with the deceased person’s name and dates of birth and death can be purchased and installed in the Memorial Garden walkway, if desired.

Human composting is a new-old method of body disposition after death. Also referred to as “soil transformation” or “terramation,” the composting of human remains is an environmentally friendly alternative to other methods of body disposition, including conventional and green burial, and cremation.
