Planning a Beautiful Ash Scattering at Yellowstone National Park
Let Their Memory Rest Where the Earth Breathes Deepest
Yellowstone National Park is a place where the Earth speaks in geysers, rivers, and wide skies. As America’s first national park, Yellowstone is a symbol of awe, rebirth, and the raw power of nature—a profoundly fitting place to honor a loved one’s final journey.
If your loved one was drawn to the outdoors, or simply yearned for peace among wild places, scattering ashes at Yellowstone offers a powerful way to return them to nature with love.
At BONAVENTURE, we specialize in unaccompanied ash scattering ceremonies in Yellowstone and other national treasures, offering families a secure, eco-friendly, and emotionally meaningful alternative to traditional funeral settings.

When you choose Yellowstone, you’re not choosing just a location—you’re choosing an experience that reflects the power, uniqueness, and dignity of the person you're honoring. It’s where memories become part of the soil, the sky, and the water.

Choosing the Right Location Within Yellowstone

Honors your loved one’s connection to nature
Respects the integrity of the park
Offers views and surroundings of true beauty
Examples of scattering areas include:
Forested ridges overlooking steaming basins
Peaceful alpine meadows away from crowds
Remote riverbanks with stunning vistas
Green, Gentle, and Grounded
