Scattering remains

Does anyone knwo what the rules/laws are on scattering ashes off the boardwalk onto the beach in Wildwood? My mother recently passed away and her wish was to be scattered on the beach. the funeral home director said just do it but I have read if I get caught I could face jail time? Any help would be great as I want to honor her wishes.

Thanks

I would have no idea what the law is for that, but I would just do it. Hopefully, if by chance you have a run in with authority, they would have a heart. Sorry about your loss.

Monkatom,

I would have to agree with the above post.I have been going to WW for 39yrs now and have seen many

strange things.Seeing you or anyone else for that matter, honoring a loved one%26#39;s request would be refreshing.

Please accept my condolences.

GO FOR IT!!!

my condolences for your loss. I know that the ashes, although will still be heavy and cumbersome, will be easier to transport outside the urn. I suggest taking along the paperwork %26amp; tags to identify them ~ just in case

I also do not know the local laws for this. My guess is it would be a littering fine, %26gt;$100. but since WW%26#39;s beach is so wide they have a beach taxi to take u to/from ocean/boardwalk. cozybeach.com/newjerseypics/wildwoodbeachtax…

IMHO, u have a great chance of leaving the boardwalk, getting on the beach and getting out of site of ppl, beach patrols, etc and performing the spreading of the ashes. Especially if u avoid the months of July %26amp; August

Thanks for all the info folks. The plan was to do it at the end of June as there are about 35 of us going there for a family reunion. It was actually a reunion for my Mom as we did not think she had much longer unfortunately she did not make it. the plan was to have my brother and i scatter the ashes off the boradwalk near morleys pier at dusk. I think there may be too many people so maybe it would be best to walk along the beach near the pier and do this.

Sorry to hear of your loss. If you goto the pier with the big metal roller coaster (Surfside Pier) and walk all of the way to the back of it you%26#39;ll find a walkway that brings you over the waterpark area and behind the pier to the beach. Its nothing more than a public entrance to the beach from that pier. That would probably be a good place to scatter the ashes because rarely is anyone back there at night.
