Boise ash scattering
The Boise River Greenbelt, city parks, and the Boise Foothills are managed lands. Contact the City of Boise or the relevant land manager before a ceremony, and do not leave a marker. The river is an inland waterway, not ocean water under the EPA permit.
Nearby national forest and wilderness should be checked with the U.S. Forest Service. This research did not find a statewide Idaho scattering statute that replaces those permissions.

Frequently asked questions
Can I scatter ashes along the Boise River Greenbelt?
The Greenbelt is managed public land. Ask the City of Boise before any ceremony. This is not legal advice.
Does The Memorial Market have a store or funeral home in Boise?
No. The Memorial Market is an online marketplace. We do not operate a showroom, funeral home, or staffed office in Boise. 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.
Can I order cremation jewelry if I live in Boise?
Yes. Cremation jewelry — pendants, rings, and similar keepsakes that hold a small amount of cremated remains — is listed in the marketplace and can be shipped to families in Boise. It is a common choice when several relatives want a share of the remains, or when the rest will be placed in a cremation urn for ashes or scattered later.
What is the cremation rate in Idaho?
The National Funeral Directors Association’s 2024 Cremation & Burial Report projected that 72.2% of deaths in Idaho 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.
Can I scatter ashes on public land in Idaho?
It depends on the manager. This research did not find a statewide statute that automatically opens parks or forests. Ask the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation, the Forest Service, or the city that manages the site, and get a private landowner’s permission on private land. This is not legal advice.
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.
