If you are planning to have cremation services for a loved one and you want to be able to plan the ashes in a natural way, you have a lot of options for doing so. If your loved one spent a lot of time outdoors or in the garden, they may have wanted their ashes spread somewhere in nature or in a natural way. You have a few different ways you can do so. If you are ready to make plans for a loved one’s ashes after cremation services in Whiteland, IN, be sure to think about some of these ideas. 


Plant Them With Flowers 


You could always plant your loved one’s ashes with flowers in a garden or a field near your home. The ashes will mix in easily with the ashes so you can plant them all at once. When you see all the flowers growing in the flowerbed or garden you will know that your loved one is growing as a part of them. It can make it feel like in some way your loved one is still with you and still a part of the earth. You can plant perennials that will come up every year so they will always be there. 


Plant A Tree 


It’s not uncommon for people to plant trees in honor of their loved ones. You can easily do this and also spread your loved one’s ashes in the hole before you put the tree in it. You can also choose to spread the ashes of your loved one at the base of the tree. As the tree grows you will be able to understand that your deceased loved one is a part of them and has mixed in with the tree. Everytime you see the tree you will be reminded of your loved one. 


Mix With Soil 


If you don’t yet know what type of flowers you want to plant but you know you want to be able to include the ashes within the garden or flower bed you can go ahead and mix them in with the soil in your preferred area. Once the ashes are a part of the soil you can plant whatever you want and know that the ashes are always a part of those flowers or plants. Adding the ashes ahead of time will make it easier to distribute them into the soil so planting is easier.
