Why I Chose the Name "Eternal Alaska"

When I started my company to help families find meaningful ways to say goodbye to their loved ones, I knew the name had to be more than just a brand. It had to reflect something deeper—something that resonated with the sacredness of memorializing a life. That’s why I chose Eternal Alaska.


Though my company now scatters cremated ashes all over the United States—and even in some places abroad—the name Alaska continues to embody the values and emotions at the heart of what I do. It represents far more than geography. For me and for many others, Alaska symbolizes peace, purity, and permanence—qualities that align beautifully with the idea of scattering ashes as a final gesture of love and release.


Alaska: More Than a Place

Alaska holds a mythical place in the American imagination. It’s the Last Frontier. The place we dream of when we need to feel wild again. For generations, Alaska has stood apart—untamed, majestic, and vast. When people think of Alaska, they think of endless mountain ranges, silent forests, icy blue waters, and skies painted with the aurora borealis. It is a land where nature speaks louder than noise, and where time seems to slow down.


These qualities—purity, quiet, and natural beauty—are exactly what many families seek when they choose ash scattering whether it is in Alaska or somewhere else. They don’t want a sterile mausoleum or an impersonal urn on a shelf. They want something that feels real. Something connected to the earth. Something that reflects the freedom and individuality of the person they’ve lost. That’s what Alaska represents. Even if the ashes are scattered in Hawaii, on Route 66, in the Florida Gulf, or at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the spirit of Alaska runs through every memorial I perform.

The Meaning Behind the Name

  

So why did I choose the name Eternal Alaska?

Because Alaska represents everything I want this company to stand for:

  • Peaceful like a glacier-fed river
  • Pure like untouched snow
  • Majestic like Denali at sunrise
  • Mythical like the Northern Lights
  • Distinctive like a caribou herd silhouetted      against the tundra
  • Adventureful like a journey off the map
  • And most of all, eternal—like      the memory of someone we love

Wherever ashes are scattered, Eternal Alaska brings the spirit of the Last Frontier into every farewell.
