Scattering Stone

Final Spring’s bespoke hand-sized Scattering Stones are made of biodegradable polymers and seaweed extracts, within which we embed the cremains. Instead of spilling out ashes into a sea breeze at the beach during a scattering, families can skip stones of their lost loved one out into the ocean, knowing they’ll dissolve and disperse their embedded ashes into the water over time … and not blow back all over those attending the ceremony.

This item is a single Scattering Stone, packaged in biodegradable clear wrapping to keep the stone from degrading before scattering.

Available with full personalization (Name, DOB/DOD, Saying) as well as Symbol Adornments.

In most cases, when someone is ordering a single Scattering Stone, it’s to supplement the set of three (3) Scattering Stones they’ve already ordered. If you are adding an extra Scattering Stone to an existing order, please let us know in the Note field when checking out; provide us with both your previous order #, as well as the name of the deceased.

Scattering Stones are easy to fill. Each Stone comes with a removable drawer in which you place the cremains. But if you’d like us to fill them for you, please contact the crematory you’re using and instruct them to send the cremains to:

Final Spring
P.O. Box 10
Highland Falls, NY 10928

If you have not already selected a funeral home or cremation service, we recommend cremstar.com for customers located in New Jersey or Pennsylvania.

Final Spring will confirm receipt of your loved one’s cremains and provide you with an estimate to completion once the ashes arrive. The process generally takes 24 hours or less to complete, but you should factor in shipping time as well.

Cremains that are not used in the creation of your Scattering Stone will be scattered anonymously in our scattering garden in the Hudson Highlands.

Urns, Scattering Stones, and other funeral products shipped with cremains can only be sent via USPS special Funeral Rate. When shipping Scattering Stones, please note that Final Spring will assess an additional postage fee. For rates, visit USPS.com.
