Final reflection: a personal decision

In both Spiritism and Christianity, we find different reasons in order to reflect on the fate of a loved one’s ashes. Nevertheless, each person experiences grief in a unique way and finds solace in different practices. For some people, keeping the ashes at home can represent peace and closeness, while for other people, putting them in a consecrated place or scattering them in nature can symbolize liberation and an act of respect.

Ultimately, this is a deeply personal decision and needs to be respected. Each family and individual must analyze what they consider best, both for their emotional peace and to honor the memory of their loved one. The importance lies in the respect and love with which this choice is handled, and in how this practice makes contribution to the serenity of people who make it.
