Love, Eternal: A Destination Ash Scattering for Couples
There are love stories that do not end.
They stretch beyond vows and decades, beyond memory and grief, woven into the very fabric of the world they once explored together. Loves that outlast youth, outlast hardship, even outlast words. And when a love like that reaches its earthly end, it deserves more than an urn or a headstone.
It deserves a place.
A view.
A sky wide enough to hold the memory.
And a final act that speaks of unity, intimacy, and the quiet joy of being together, always.
At BONAVENTURE, we offer the Partners Tribute Package, a destination ash scattering experience for couples who wish to return to nature together. It is a final journey, rooted in reverence, guided by love, and set in the most breathtaking landscapes this earth has to offer.
A Final Chapter, Written in the Language of Nature
To walk through life hand in hand is a gift. To return to the earth in unison is a legacy.
The Partners Tribute honors that legacy by scattering two sets of ashes side by side, in a location that reflects the beauty and spirit of your shared story. Whether it’s a couple, lifelong friends, family members, or another cherished bond, blending ashes is a deeply personal decision that symbolizes unity, love, and togetherness beyond life.
Choosing the Right Place Together
The location you select becomes part of your story’s final chapter. It might be:
A windswept mountaintop where you once hiked together — a place of adventure and quiet triumph, where the air is clear and the horizon endless.
A glowing shoreline where you watched the sunset — where water and light meet in a timeless dance, and memories ripple like gentle waves.
A quiet forest clearing that feels like home — surrounded by whispering trees and soft earth, a sanctuary for peace and reflection.

The setting you choose should resonate deeply with your shared life, whether it’s a place you visited often, dreamed about, or simply one that feels right for your lasting farewell.
Practical Guidance for Combining Ashes
If you are considering combining ashes, here are some important points to keep in mind:
Permission and Legalities: Some parks and natural areas require permits or have regulations about scattering ashes. We handle these details to ensure your tribute is fully compliant and respectful of the environment.
Dividing or Blending Ashes: You can choose to blend all the ashes together before scattering, or scatter them side by side but separately. If you need assistance dividing or packaging ashes safely, our team can help coordinate this with care and precision.
Shipping Ashes: When sending ashes to us for scattering, use a secure, approved cremated remains shipping kit, such as the USPS Cremated Remains Kit. Proper packaging ensures safe transport and compliance with regulations.
Including a Portion in a Memorial: Many families choose to include a small portion of the ashes inside a custom memorial plaque or keepsake. This allows a tangible connection to remain close at home, while the rest is scattered in your chosen place.
Timing and Seasonality: We plan ceremonies seasonally to honor the natural rhythms of each destination—ensuring your scattering happens when the environment is at its most beautiful and respectful of local wildlife and visitors.
An Intimate Act of Unity
Combining ashes is more than logistics; it is a symbolic, intimate act that tells a story of connection and enduring love. It transforms a scattering ceremony from an ending into a shared beginning, a moment where spirits mingle with the earth, sky, and water that so often hold our fondest memories.
Whether you scatter together now or over time, in one place or many, the act of returning to nature side by side celebrates the bond that neither time nor death can break.
Ashes are blended gently and scattered in ceremony. A handcrafted wooden plaque, engraved with both names and the exact GPS coordinates, is placed as a permanent tribute. A small portion of the ashes may be included inside the plaque, if desired, so a part of you always remains close.
This is not just a service. It’s a love story, told through land and sky.
Featured Destination: Jackson Lake & the Chapel of the Sacred Heart
One of the most beloved places for the Partners Tribute is Jackson Lake in Grand Teton National Park. Beneath the towering peaks, beside the quiet stillness of the Chapel of the Sacred Heart, two lives can return to nature in perfect peace.
The lake is glassy in the morning. The mountains reflect like a memory. And here, two souls become part of the wind and water, scattered together in sacred silence.
This is not an ending. It is a homecoming.
