Fellow Seabreezers,
Looking to hear from anyone who has scattered ashes in a public place and their experiences of such. My sister and I are looking to scatter our parents ashes at the location stipulated in their wills and wishes.
It does involve scattering the combined ashes in a public place (the local rockpool/beach where we grew up) and the following are excerpts from NSW Health.

"Scattered on private land, beach, river, public parks and sea or at a place that was significant to the deceased and families. It also depends on the personal wishes of the deceased.

<div>It is important to get permission from the owners of private land or the Trust of Parks and reserves, or from local council for parks, beaches and playing fields as scattering of ashes may contravene the provisions of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 in terms of air or water pollution. Councils and other Government Authorities will set a time and place when these activities can be undertaken and can impose other conditions.
