Frequently Asked Questions What if I want to scatter the ashes? If you decide to scatter the ashes, whether immediately or in the future, there are a wide range of urns available. Some companies do make an urn specifically for scattering. Some have hinged lids for easy access to cremains, others have special handles to help while scattering and some are designed to be taken home after scattering and can be used as a keepsake box for personal items. Although some urns are labeled as scattering urns, in most instances any urn may work.
