For many families scattering ashes is not only a symbolic moment, but it is pivotal to dealing with the loss of a loved one. What you do with the ashes of a loved one is a very personal choice. Ashes can be memorialised in our beautiful gardens, kept at home in an urn, split between family members, scattered – or any combination of these options. Whilst Centennial Park does not offer a place to scatter ashes within our Park, we are here to provide information and support for you and your families.
There are many considerations when it comes to scattering ashes that go beyond just choosing a location. Once ashes have been scattered they are irretrievable, so it is important that your family are aware of your preference to do so. We have sourced a variety of products including beautifully designed scatter tubes and 100% biodegradable urns that allow families to scatter ashes in a respectful and memorable way.
