Farmstead Scattering Garden offers a mail-in human ash scattering service in a peaceful hayfield. This option is ideal for those who wish to honor a loved one with a farewell surrounded by the quiet beauty of open fields and the rhythm of farm life. A hayfield holds a unique symbolism—spacious, nurturing, and deeply tied to the legacy of farming families. Choosing this location allows your loved one’s memory to rest in a place where harvests have sustained generations, connecting their story to the enduring cycles of nature. Whether you are planning ahead for yourself or making arrangements for someone dear, this setting provides a meaningful and serene final chapter. You can personalize the scattering by selecting the season, time of day, or a specific date that holds special importance. To further shape the experience, we also offer weather elements and thoughtful add-ons that can bring even more intention to the ceremony. *There is an extra fee for high-traffic days (e.g., Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc.). To stay connected with your loved one for years to come, you can always check in with our Farmstead Scattering Garden Facebook page, where we regularly post pictures and videos of the farm's pastoral views, wildlife, and many activities. How It Works We’ve designed our process to be as straightforward as possible, helping families through a difficult time with clarity and care. After checkout, you will receive detailed mailing instructions by email. Once the cremated remains arrive at our farm, we carry out the scattering in the hayfield according to your chosen customizations. You may also request to have the urn returned to you. Safety and common sense guide all ceremonies, so certain combinations of experiences and weather conditions may not be possible. In addition, Farmstead Scattering offers flexible pre-planning times. However, we're only able to accommodate pre-planning services that fall within a five-year timeframe.
