Consider The Environment
The appeal of scattering ashes is to return to nature what nature created to fulfill a final wish and complete a journey.However, a concentrated amount of cremated ashes can be extremely harmful to plant life because ashes will not breakdown naturally to become one with nature. After years of research we can offer the New Zealand public an organic product that can be mixed with ashes to make this process environment friendly.
Scattering Ashes is Harmful to Nature
Cremated ashes are harmful to plant life. A large proportion of people think that ashes consist of ‘ash’, this is far from it. Ashes is bone that has been refined to make it usable and acceptable to the public.As the ashes lie dormant, the high sodium (salt) content within the ashes can become toxic to the surrounding plant life. Also, the beneficial plant nutrients found within the ashes have been locked by the cremation process and are not readily available for uptake by the root system. The ashes will “clump” once in the ground and become a solid mass of salty rock, stressing or killing plant roots when they come into contact. The pH level of cremated ash is high as is its sodium content. No soil will effectively correct this elevated pH level.
