NHFA September 2025 Webinar: Creating Meaningful Rituals for Families After Cremation

Join us on September 30th at 8 pm ET for an informative webinar that explores how end-of-life professionals can guide families in creating meaningful post-cremation rituals that honor both memory and place. We’ll discuss cultural and historical approaches to scattering, practical considerations for helping families choose the right setting, and creative ways to weave ritual into everyday landscapes.

As a case study, we’ll look at Farmstead Scattering Garden—a fourth-generation working farm that has become a sacred space for scattering cremains by mail. Amy Bridger co-founded Farmstead Scattering Garden with her husband, John, on his family’s fourth-generation working cattle farm in northwestern Pennsylvania, where they live with their two teenage children.

Participants will leave with practical tools, inspiring examples, and resources to help families move beyond cremation toward meaningful acts of remembrance.
