Places to Scatter Ashes in Louisiana
This 350 acre historic park is a peaceful escape from the busting New Orleans. The trails covered in ancient live oaks, a lagoon, and rolling landscapes, this would be a beautiful spot to scatter your loved one’s ashes.

You can hold a service for up to 50 passengers, and the boat is made to be easily accessible to all. The boat sails at least 3 miles and any coastal destination can be chosen. It’s a very memorable way to say goodbye to your loved one.
Photo CreditAdditional Notes on Scattering Cremated Remains in Louisiana
Louisiana law allows you to scatter ashes over uninhabited public land with permission/a permit, over a public waterway or sea, or on private property of a consenting owner. If scattering at sea you must be at least 3 nautical miles from land, notify the EPA within 30 days of scattering, and avoid beaches and wading pools. You must obtain a permit to scatter on federal land. You can also scatter the ashes, but NOT the container, from the air as the government doesn’t consider cremains to be hazardous material. If the container isn’t biodegradable you must remove the ashes from the container before scattering.
Louisiana Cremation FAQs
What happens if you can't afford funeral services for you or your loved on in the state of Louisiana?
Although state funeral and burial assistance is in decline, there are available resources. To qualify for the New Mexico Indigent Burial and Cremation program, the deceased must have no estate from which to pay for a funeral, no family who can afford a service, and be ineligible for assistance from the Social Security or Veterans administration. If these criteria are met, the Public Administrator, or Indigent Burial Officer of the state, pays for a direct cremation of the deceased (the least expensive method). This is why it’s so important to pre-plan.
What veterans' benefits are available in Louisiana?
The VA benefits provided (at no cost to the family) include a grave site; opening and closing of the grave; perpetual grave site care; a government headstone or market; and United States burial flag that can be draped over the casket or accompany the urn (and is given to the next of kin after the service); an engraved presidential memorial certificate signed by the current sitting President, expressing the country’s grateful recognition of their service.
What is state cremation rate?
Louisiana cremation rate is 31-40%, according to 2020 CANA Annual Report.

What is the average cost of cremation in Louisiana?
