Help & Advice
At Scattering Ashes we have been asked all sorts of questions; do you need to get permission to scatter on Ben Nevis? How do you scatter from a boat? Can I carry ashes in my hand luggage on a plane? So we’ve put the answers to some of the most frequently asked ones on these pages.
There are certain places where you can scatter ashes and certain places where you can’t but what you really need to know is who will grant you permission so in Law and permission we’ve put together the responses from some of the key organisations:
If your place or venue isn’t listed try searching the blog or drop us a line at info@scattering-ashes.co.uk
Where to scatter covers more general information about the types of locations where you can scatter such as woodlands and over water. There’s a specific page for Sea or on a river
The scattering ceremony is an important way of celebrating the life of a loved one and there is not much guidance out there so we’ve put together some ideas to help you plan the ceremony itself :

- Help runing the ceremony
we have also put together some information on funerals too:

People often ask us how to get ashes either back to the UK or how to take them to a place that was special to their loved one so we’ve gathered our advice here Travelling with ashes. However if you can’t travel and need someone to transport the ashes for you click here for more help.
