Destination Ash Scattering: Celebrate Life in Breathtaking Locations
If the Taj Mahal is “a poem in marble,” then that poem is a lament, an immortal expression of grief transformed into beauty. At BONAVENTURE, destination ash scattering carries that same devotion into the modern world, offering families a way to say goodbye in settings as breathtaking as any monument ever built.
The loss of a loved one is so crushing that it can change the very course of a life. The emperor who built the Taj Mahal did so as a tribute to his beloved wife, who died giving birth to their child. “The death so crushed the emperor that all his hair and beard were said to have grown snow white in a few months.” His sorrow became something eternal, a love story carved into stone.
Today, many families long to give their loved ones a final tribute that speaks just as deeply, not in marble but in nature’s grandeur. They want a farewell that reflects who that person was: their wonder, their joy, their love of the world.
That is our mission at BONAVENTURE. We provide beautiful, eco-friendly farewells in the most extraordinary places on earth, where each ceremony becomes its own living poem. From the rippling rainbow thermal pools of Yellowstone to the dawn over the wildflower meadows of Mount Rainier, destination ash scattering allows families to say goodbye in places even more beautiful than the Taj Mahal.
