I'd want mine scattered from the top of Eureka Dunes within sight of the beautiful strata of the Last Chance Range.
But in truth, I'd leave it to my surviving loved ones to decide.
We scattered both my parents' ashes on a beach we love and frequently visit on Martha's Vineyard. They had never been; it was our place. And yes the wind blew the ashes back into young Ben's face who was having a blast "throwing grandpa to the waves". My older daughter was there too. It was hardly solemn, but it was meaningful.
