Scattering Garden

If you are looking for the perfect way to memorialize a loved one who had an appreciation for nature and its boundless beauty, our Scattering Garden and personalized Memorial Garden Stone may be the answer.

Our Process

Our Scatter Garden

The property that surrounds our Scattering Garden is still very much in its natural state. It has been cleared only enough to enhance the breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and portions of the James River.

It’s an extraordinary site where every hour of the day brings new gifts. After sunrise, early morning clouds often nestle at eye level just across the river. A nearby waterfall provides soothing sounds of rest and tranquility. The light breeze is as constant as the abundant wildlife living in and around this bluff. Later, a spectacular sunset over majestic mountains will take center stage. And after the sun goes down, the stars take over; away from the glow of city lights, the crystal-clear views of the heavens are rivaled only by those of the mountains. Here, life is undisturbed and unfiltered…revealing the awe of the Creator’s handiwork each day.

Whether a family member or a friend, your loved one’s ashes will be released in our beautiful Scattering Garden with care and compassion. An engraved and personalized memorial stone will then be placed at the scatter site to serve as a constant remembrance of their life. The event will be documented in a keepsake Certificate of Release, noting the date and location of the placement.

Or choose our Together Forever option (below) for couples.

Scattering Garden: “Together Forever”

$375.00

Edit

Rest Ashured has a new option for couples who wish to have their ashes scattered at the same time and place, forever intermingled.

With the “Together Forever” option, both ashes will added to our scattering garden, and a joint memorial stone placed to display the couple’s names.

Do both ashes have to be handled at once?

Yes, for the Together Forever option, the ashes of both individuals would be provided to Rest Ashured at the same time, and released at the same time. This means that the scattering would not occur until both persons have passed and been cremated. (Families would hold the first ashes until the time comes for the second.)

Is the site marked with one memory stone or two?

A single stone will mark the scattering site, but it is large enough to hold the names and dates of both people.
