Chris sAre there any rules about the scattering of ashes on beacon hill . My darling husband died in july and we are trying to find an appropriate place to scatter his ashes. He loved beacon hill and visited frequently, even bringing a dear friend of his who was then terminally ill.
Ranger replies
It was very considerate of you to ask, something we very much appreciate.
In answer to your query, there are no set guidelines for the scattering of ashes, but in certain circumstances it can be detrimental to a site. If a large number of people do this, it can actually alter the site's chemistry. By this, we mean the make-up of the soil being changed. In turn, the plants and animals inhabiting the site can be affected and can cause a change in popluations.
On this occasion we will consent to your particular request. If you do choose to scatter your husband's ashes on Beacon Hill, we hope you find comfort in knowing it was somewhere he enjoyed visiting."
