I lost my boy Marsden in an horrific accident 3 years ago this December. I had him cremated and it was always my plan to keep him and for him to come with me when I go. But I was looking at some photos of him last night and was thinking maybe I should scatter his ashes. He was an amazing powerful 17.2 TB, a pure jumping machine, not to mention the love of my life, and it upsets me to think that such an amazing animal is now confined to a wooden abox sitting next to my bed at home! Im thinking he should be released to run free again. Im really confused as to what to do, so any thoughts would really help me. Im also thinking that maybe scattering his ashes might help me to get over his death.
 
Sorry for your loss.

Is there a special place you could scatter his ashes,i think i would plant a rose/plant/tree and scatter his ashes under it.

When we lost our greyhound i planted a rose bush called star light and put his ashes under the rose,i know its not the same but still a loved animal and part of the family.
 
So sorry for your loss, it must be so hard to get over something like that. How about scattering the majority of his ashes somewhere special and perhaps as twinklinggem suggested plant a nice tree or shrub? You could then keep a small handful of his ashes in a smaller box as that may be a comfort to you.
 
My daughters mare died a year ago this week and she was cremated. Her ashes were returned to us and we buried them at our yard. The place we chose has now been turned into a small garden with an apple tree and a lovely rose bush. Over the year we have planted allsorts of flowers and it has been a comfort to have this place to tend and somtimes just sit and remember. I am so sorry for your loss I hope that whatever you decide to do will bring some comfort.
 
I lost my beautiful girl two years ago and she now lurks in my spare room with a little special place for her box, I keep thinking about burying her or scattering the ashes but,I know it sounds daft, I can't bare to do it. I'm sure if the time is right I'll know but for now she safe upstairs so just go with whatever is right for you. A friend has her ned in a cupboard so we are not alone.
I bought a rose for her memory which is in my front garden and is called Gentle Lady and when it flowers its beautiful.
