Our Story

We saw a growing truth: more families than ever are choosing to scatter the cremated remains of their loved ones in places filled with meaning. But unlike a traditional cemetery, these places often lack a clear marker, making it difficult for loved ones to return, reflect, and remember.

At the same time, many people keep cremated remains at home, unsure of what to do next or how to honor their loved one in a way that feels meaningful. Etern.life serves as both inspiration and a practical resource, helping families explore scattering options, learn what’s possible, and find a farewell that reflects their loved one’s life and values.

That’s why we created Etern.life, to give scattering locations the same sense of permanence, connection, and community that cemeteries have offered for centuries.

Scattering cremated remains is an act of love and release, but without a lasting marker, those moments can fade from view. By preserving the exact location and pairing it with a story, Etern.life helps families keep that connection alive. It’s a way to give future generations a place to visit, celebrate a life in the setting that mattered most, and see and share how others honor their loved ones worldwide.

Where Do You Want to Be Remembered?

Use this system to mark the exact location (within a few feet) of where the cremated remains/urn are laid to rest. You can then upload a photograph and create a personal online memorial on our Memorial Map that can be viewed by friends and family.

Scattering Tubes and Biodegradable Urns from Passages International include a unique code that you can use to digitally mark the final resting place of your loved one and create a memorial on the Memorial Map.
