1. Choose a Meaningful and Approved Location
Where you scatter a loved one's ashes matters. Whether it's in a family garden, beneath a memorial tree or in a favorite location, selecting a special location helps create a meaningful tribute. Before you scatter ashes in public spaces, parks or waterways, you must check local regulations to ensure scattering ashes is legal.

2. Consider the Environmental Impact
Scattering cremation ashes without the help of Let Your Love Grow’s patented mixture can cause environmental harm. Ashes contain high levels of sodium that can be detrimental to surrounding plant life. Preparing cremated remains with LYLG’s soil mixture allows you to honor a loved one without harming the nature nearby. Explore how it works before scattering ashes and giving new life to a life lost.
3. Prepare Ashes with Care
Handling ashes with care is essential to a proper burial. Selecting an eco-friendly burial option, like mixing ashes with Let Your Love Grow, reduces the environmental risk of harm to nearby plant life. Preparing cremated remains this way ensures your tribute helps nature thrive and, in turn, promotes healing for you and your family.
4. Plan a Heartfelt Ceremony
Give life new meaning by planning a private gathering to honor your loved one or beloved pet. Use this time to share a favorite piece of writing or scripture, play music or invite others to share memories of their time on this Earth. If you’re scattering ashes in a garden or natural area, consider leaving flowers or seeds behind to create a living memorial that will blossom in the future.
5. Create an Eco-Friendly Living Memorial
Planting a tree or building a memorial garden is a great way to scatter ashes safely. By mixing a loved one’s ashes with LYLG, you ensure that their memory continues to nurture life long after they have left this world. It’s a gentle reminder that even in loss, love helps new life to flourish. You can also further their memory by planting a tree they loved, selecting their favorite flowers or decorating the area with a memorial stone or statue.
