Scattering is About Creating
a Meaningful and Memorable
Experience
Why do the majority of families that choose
cremation go on to scatter the cremains?
Families choose scattering because it lets them create unique, personal
experiences that are often not possible with a cookie-cutter conventional
funeral. For example, families can purchase multiple mini-sized Journey
Earthurns, charter a whale watching cruise, and scatter the remains into the
ocean as a group. Families have reported using a biodegradable Sea Turtle
Urn in the ocean and during their memorial service, real sea turtles made an
appearance.
We cannot guarantee these amazing and unforgettable events, but this kind of experience is
only made possible through the use of biodegradable urns. These goodbye ceremonies will
exist forever in the minds of friends and family, and at Passages we believe that the most important thing in a funeral service is creating an experience that the attendees will remember
forever - both remembering the event itself, and the life that their loved one lived.
Be a Tree
“Everybody wants to be a tree.” -The New York Times
The idea of becoming a tree after death is an emotionally powerful one, creating new
life after death. The best way to “be a tree” after passing on is the Biotree Urn (pg 32).
Passages has also partnered with nonprofit organizations dedicated to planting trees.
We offer a free Memorial Tree Certificate with the purchase of any adult casket for
families in the continental US. Families can redeem the certificate to receive a free 12”
tree sapling of a species that will grow in their area. Memorial Trees include a 1-year
warranty, ensuring they are able to grow when planted.
Biotree™
Bury an Urn, Plant a Tree.
After using a biodegradable urn, a loved one can be remembered for many lifetimes by planting a tree above
where you buried a Passages® urn or scatter cremated remains. Simply visit our website at
www.passagesinternational.com/shop and purchase a live 12” tree sapling online.
Memorial Medallions are another great way to permanently remember a loved
one. These 25 gram solid bronze medallions with original “Tree of Life” artwork
are a tangible way to remember loved ones long after they are gone. Engrave the
back of the Medallions and hand them out at funeral or memorial services, or keep
one close by as a remembrance. Memorial Pendants are also available on a leather
cord, and can adorn many of our urns that are not suitable for engraving.
