Wreaths and flower petals are a simple and beautiful touch to an ash scattering ceremony, whether it’s at the lake, on the shore, or at sea.

An inexpensive wreath can be made with daisies, the April birth flower.

This might not be the best choice for a water burial, but I do love this wreath created with succulents.
