Arkansas rules for keeping and scattering ashes

Here is what state sources say. Local rules, parks and cemeteries can add their own requirements, so check with them before you plan a scattering or burial.

• Arkansas rules allow ashes to be placed in a crypt, niche, grave or scattering garden in a dedicated cemetery, or scattered over uninhabited public lands, the sea or other public waterways (17 CAR 30-209).
• Scattering on private property other than a cemetery needs the owner's written consent.
• Ashes must be removed from their closed container before scattering.
• After delivery to the family, ashes may be moved anywhere in Arkansas without a permit.

Choosing an urn for your plans

If you plan to keep the ashes at home, a full-size marble cremation urn or granite urn is made to last on display. If you are scattering most of the ashes, a keepsake urn keeps a small portion close. For burial, ask the cemetery whether it requires an urn vault; see can cremation urns be buried.

Not sure of the size? Allow about one cubic inch for each pound of healthy body weight; our urn size guide explains it.
