Following the cremation, we offer three options for your convenience. We can arrange a meeting with a family member to receive the ashes, we can coordinate your journey to the ash scattering site, or you can mail the ashes to us.

If you choose to have us meet you and receive the ashes personally, we comply with all TSA laws and airline regulations during their transportation to the ash scattering site. We uphold the sanctity of your loved one's memory.
We manage all the legalities whether it's on land or sea. This includes acquiring necessary permissions and submitting all required permits. As a licensed and insured company, you can trust us to handle these responsibilities with utmost care and professionalism.
To commemorate the ash scattering service, we mark the exact location with a GPS signal. This ensures that you can always remember this distinguished tribute, knowing the precise location of your loved one's final resting place.
We provide peace of mind by offering real-time tracking of your loved one’s final journey. Using Apple AirTags and Google Tracking, you can follow our grief journey and know exactly where we are in the process.

Eternal Alaska was founded after a simple but powerful realization.
While working in Alaska in 2018, founder Stan Reese repeatedly heard visitors express a desire to one day return to the places they loved most—not just in memory, but physically, through the scattering of their ashes. Many spoke of Alaska’s mountains, water, and quiet beauty as places where they felt peace and belonging.
That idea became reality during a moment overlooking Denali, where the stillness and scale of Alaska made clear how deeply place can shape a life. Eternal Alaska was created to honor that connection.
Today, Eternal Alaska helps families carry out ash scattering memorials in meaningful locations across Alaska, the United States, and beyond. Each service is handled with care, transparency, and respect, allowing families to honor final wishes with dignity and purpose.
