Why scatter ashes?
Cremation has become more popular in recent years as a way to honor the passing of a loved one by scattering the ashes at the decedent’s favorite place. For sailors, the favorite place might be to have the ashes released over the water; and for pilots, in the air above a favorite spot. When done with appropriate dignity, scattering ashes from an airplane can be an appropriate way of honoring the wishes of a loved one. It is an environmentally friendly way to return to the Earth without consuming valuable natural resources. Generally speaking, cremation is cheaper than traditional burial services.
