PO Box 25126            Albuquerque, NM 87125            1-505-345-3536            info@sunset-memorial.com After cremation, many families are choosing to scatter cremated remains, rather than inter them. It is becoming more common out of personal preference or perhaps as part of the wishes of their loved one. However, many things should be considered regarding scattering remains.  First, in New Mexico as in most states, there are state laws and regulations governing scattering cremated remains on State Parks or any public lands. Some locations it is strictly forbidden and most other areas require a permit. Any private property requires permission by the landowner and may require the landowner to disclose this in any future legal agreements. In addition to state and federal laws, local, county and city laws also must be taken into consideration and followed. It's also important to know that grief therapists and counselors increasingly remind us, the grief and healing process is greatly facilitated by the act of memorialization. Having a permanent place to gather and remember your loved one for yourself and for your future generations can be an important facet.  For families choosing scattering Sunset Memorial Park provides our lovely Rose Garden.
