Spreading Ashes in Washington? Loved Ones Choose These Locations

Losing a loved one is tough, I don't need to type a sentence to even say that.

The post mortem care can be a bit overwhelming as well. With grief, loss, planning, and just simply trying to wrap your head around the fact that you can no longer physically speak back and forth with someone you cherish so much.

Here's a big hug to you. Sincerely.

When we pass, either we have come up with plans for our physical bodies, or plans are decided for us. And while some prefer to be in a silky coffin, others may prefer being cremated.

According to NPR, just over a half of Americans chose to get cremated in 2020.

Whatever your preference or beliefs may be, is up to you, personally. I like the idea of being turned into a diamond. Yes, it's possible.

Ok, so we know that cremation is an option. But where should our loved ones spread our ashes? Or do we let them choose?

(By the way, this is such a weird article to write, I feel like I'm planning my future, or my loved one's future of what to do with me... *cough*turn me into a diamond*cough*)

Well, according to a survey done by, choicemutual.com

•  Mount Rainier National Park

• Olympic National Park

• Husky Stadium

Now, the Question is... Is This Legal?

This is according to Penttila's Funeral Home: In regard to private property,

"As with many other states, Washington has no state laws restricting scattering ashes in your yard or on other property that you own. However, be sure to get permission If you’re looking to scatter ashes on a property owned by another person or organization" (Source)

Take with that, what you will. I will not be held responsible for you fulfilling a loved one's wish, but also, I coulllldd be an alibi... Maybe, I mean, No I won't ;)
