Cremation urns for ashes in Wyoming
Wyoming’s projected cremation rate is among the highest in the country. Families in Cheyenne, Casper, and the rest of the state often want a cremation urn for ashes or a carefully permitted mountain memorial.
The NFDA 2024 Cremation & Burial Report projected a 79.5% cremation rate for Wyoming in 2025, eighth in the public state table, up from 78.5% in the 2024 column, against a national projection of 63.3%. Coverage of CANA’s 2026 report includes Wyoming among Northwest states at 71% or higher.
The Memorial Market is an online marketplace and does not operate in Wyoming. Cremation urns for ashes and cremation jewelry can be shipped to the state.
Ash scattering in Wyoming
This research did not find a Wyoming statute that lists where families may scatter cremated remains. Private land requires the owner’s permission. State parks and city parks have their own rules.
Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park are National Park Service units. Under 36 C.F.R. 2.62, scattering is generally allowed only with a permit or under conditions the superintendent sets. Do not plan a Yellowstone or Tetons ceremony without contacting the park. National forests and Bureau of Land Management land need a check with the local office as well.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cremation rate in Wyoming?
The National Funeral Directors Association’s 2024 Cremation & Burial Report projected that 79.5% of deaths in Wyoming 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 Yellowstone or Grand Teton?
Both are National Park Service units. Federal rules generally require a permit or the superintendent’s conditions before ashes may be scattered. Contact the park that manages the exact location. 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.
Does The Memorial Market have a store or funeral home in Wyoming?
No. The Memorial Market is an online marketplace. We do not operate a showroom, funeral home, or staffed office in Wyoming. 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.
