Where can I scatter ashes?
You can scatter ashes almost anywhere in the UK after a cremation, as long as you have permission from the landowner first. Ashes can be scattered at sea or on a river without permission, but you need to follow the Environment Agency's guidelines.
How long can you leave ashes before scattering ?
I don’t think there is a ‘right’ time other than what is right for each individual family/relative. I think the ‘right answer’ is what seems right to them. Inevitably, it's your choice.
