In compliance with the Clean Water Act and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines, we may collect limited location and ceremony details (e.g., GPS coordinates, urn material, dispersal confirmation) for records or reporting purposes, when required.

We will always notify you of any required documentation and obtain consent for ceremonial details.

This policy may be updated as state or federal regulations evolve. The most current version will always be available on our website.
