Nashua ash scattering
City parks, the Nashua River, and private yards all require permission from the owner or managing agency. This research did not find a statewide scattering statute.
If the family’s plan is a mountain or seacoast ceremony, use the Forest Service, state park, or EPA ocean rules that apply to that location rather than assuming a hometown park is an open site.

Frequently asked questions
Can I keep a cremation urn for ashes at home in Nashua?
This research did not find a New Hampshire statute forbidding a family from keeping cremated remains at home. Follow any lease or HOA rules, and ask a local funeral director if you are unsure. This is not legal advice.
Does The Memorial Market have a store or funeral home in Nashua?
No. The Memorial Market is an online marketplace. We do not operate a showroom, funeral home, or staffed office in Nashua. 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 New Hampshire?
The National Funeral Directors Association’s 2024 Cremation & Burial Report projected that 81.0% of deaths in New Hampshire 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 in the White Mountains?
It depends on the land manager. White Mountain National Forest is federal land; ask the Forest Service. State parks and private trails need their own permission. This research did not find a statewide scattering statute that automatically opens mountain land. This is not legal advice.
Does The Memorial Market have a store or funeral home in New Hampshire?
