Scattering ashes is legal almost anywhere in the UK, providing you have the landowner’s permission.
There are many different places you can choose to scatter ashes. Some popular choices include:
Private land
Rivers, lakes, and the sea*
Mountain or hilltops
Sporting venues
Cemeteries or churchyards
*If you’re planning to scatter ashes over a river or in the sea, it is recommended that you check with the environmental agency first.
