For people who loved to travel, it's often common to want to spread their ashes in some of their favorite travel locations. Instead of carrying a large urn around with you everywhere you go, you can order specialized products from various cremation services. The following five products can help you honor your loved one, make it easy to transport urns, and give you plenty of places to spread ashes.

Companion Crystals

If you plan on spreading ashes through hiking trails, caves, or other natural areas, then a companion crystal is an ideal way to do this. The ashes of your loved one are formed into a beautiful crystal design. Depending on the amount of ashes, you can actually get a handful of specialized crystals. These are solid crystals with the ashes infused into them. The exact color of the crystal depends on the composition of the body and chemicals used to cremate it. Once the crystal is formed and hardened, you can easily place it among natural rocks, bury it in the ground, or set it in a special part of a cave. In the following years, you can go back and try to find the crystal again or let it remain a part of nature.

Water Urns

Many travelers love areas of water. This includes rivers, lakes, and oceans. When scattering ashes over these areas, the ashes will float and go in random directions. By choosing a water urn, you can select the exact locations where the cremated remains are placed. A water urn is a biodegradable urn that slowly dissolves over time. When the urn is placed in the water, it will sink to the bottom with the ashes inside. When the urn dissolves, the ashes will naturally become a part of the water and special area that you chose. These urns are available in a variety of designs including seashells and sea animals. 

Keepsake Urns

Traveling with a large urn can be cumbersome and add a lot of weight to luggage or bags. One option you have for traveling is choosing a keepsake urn for your loved one's remains. Keepsake urns are typically smaller than five inches. When ordering the urns, you can have the main portion of ashes placed in a traditional urn while additional ashes are placed in the keepsake and made for easy travel. Some of these urns are small enough to fit in your pocket, making them easy to carry on hiking trails or other travel locations.

Burial Pods

Turn the remains of your loved one into a whole new life with a burial pod. These pods are biodegradable urns with seeds infused inside. This means the remains will be used to grow a plant or tree wherever you plant it. This can create a permanent memorial for your loved one. These pods can be planted in a variety of areas, including vacation homes or forests. As the years go on, you can see the life grow out 0f the pod and eventually grow into a full blown plant. The variety of pod options gives you a lot of different choices when it comes to choose the plant selection for your loved one.

Scattering Tubes

If you plan on spreading ashes at a lot of different travel locations, then consider a scattering tube. These tubes are designed to hold and protect ashes. A screw off cap allows you to easily open the tube and smoothly spread the ashes in a location. The tubes can be customized with the name of your loved one and additional details like birth year, death year, and symbols like a cross. The tubes are crafted in a number of different materials, including wood, steel, and copper.
