Cremation urns for ashes in Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs sits at the foot of Pikes Peak, in a state with a 78.1% projected 2025 cremation rate. Families often look for a cremation urn for ashes or a mountain ceremony arranged with the land manager.
Colorado Springs does not have a separately published cremation rate. The 78.1% figure is Colorado’s statewide 2025 projection from the NFDA 2024 report.
The Memorial Market ships to Colorado Springs and does not have a local office.
Colorado Springs ash scattering
Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, and nearby national forest land are each managed by a specific agency — the city, the U.S. Forest Service, or another owner. This research did not find a published, official scattering page for Pikes Peak comparable to Rocky Mountain National Park’s permit page, so the cautious step is to ask the managing office rather than assume a summit or park trail is open for scattering.
Rocky Mountain National Park’s free-permit rules apply only inside that park, not in Colorado Springs.

Frequently asked questions
Can I scatter ashes on Pikes Peak?
Pikes Peak and the surrounding land are managed by specific public agencies. Contact the manager of the exact site before any ceremony. This page does not invent a permit policy that was not found in official sources. This is not legal advice.
Does The Memorial Market have a store or funeral home in Colorado Springs?
No. The Memorial Market is an online marketplace. We do not operate a showroom, funeral home, or staffed office in Colorado Springs. Families there can browse cremation urns for ashes, cremation jewelry, and other memorials on the site, and vendors ship completed pieces. Local funeral homes, crematories, and park agencies handle arrangements and any permits where you live.
What is a biodegradable memorial urn?
A biodegradable memorial urn is a vessel designed to break down in soil or water, often chosen for a burial or a water scattering. The U.S. EPA’s general permit for burial at sea allows only materials that are readily decomposable in the marine environment — plastic or metal containers must not be left in the ocean. The Memorial Market’s current urn listings are primarily artisan ceramic, glass, and sculptural cremation urns for ashes; none of the published titles are labeled biodegradable. If you need a water-soluble vessel for an ocean ceremony, confirm the material with the seller or your charter captain before you buy.
What is the cremation rate in Colorado?
The National Funeral Directors Association’s 2024 Cremation & Burial Report projected that 78.1% of deaths in Colorado would be cremated in 2025, compared with a national projection of 63.3% in the same table. Those figures are projections, not a final vital-statistics release. A later NFDA report, announced in October 2025, updated the national 2025 projection to 63.4%. The Cremation Association of North America has separately reported a U.S. cremation rate of 62.8% in 2025. CANA’s full state table is not published publicly.
Do I need a permit to scatter ashes in Rocky Mountain National Park?
Yes. The park requires a free permit, at least 200 feet from any water source, a site away from developed areas, and no markers. It cannot permit ceremonies in Estes Park, Grand Lake, or on Forest Service land. This is not legal advice.
