In Quebec, families have several options for scattering a loved one's ashes, from private property to natural spaces, though specific regulations must be followed. While the province's laws are relatively straightforward, different rules apply depending on whether you choose public waters, urban areas, or provincial parks. Proper documentation and permissions are essential, particularly when scattering ashes in public spaces or on private property not owned by the family. Most importantly, families should take time to plan a meaningful farewell that respects both local regulations and personal wishes, as scattered ashes cannot be recovered once dispersed.
