Scattering ashes at sea can feel incredibly special and symbolic. It’s a beautiful way to say goodbye. At the same time, it can raise cultural, legal and ethical considerations that are important to understand and respect.

A recent article by RNZ, The modern conundrum of scattering human ashes, shares thoughtful insights from Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand CEO Gillian Boyes, Board Member Andrew Malcolm and Board Cultural Advisor Larni Hepi. The piece explores how memorial practices are evolving and why cultural awareness matters so much when making these deeply personal decisions.

If this is something you’re considering, it’s well worth a read. You’ll find the link in the comments.
