Eternal Legacy Service helps families carry out meaningful final wishes through professionally documented ash scattering memorials across the United States.
Eternal Legacy Service provides professionally coordinated ash scattering memorials for families who want a loved one's final resting place to be somewhere meaningful.
Founded as Eternal Alaska, the company grew from providing memorials in Alaska into a nationwide service helping families arrange final journeys at National Parks, mountains, coastlines, historic locations and other meaningful destinations across America.
Services may include transportation and care of cremated ashes, real-time journey tracking, Scattering Moment videos, GPS documentation, memorial certificates and professional photography.
Since 2021, Eternal Legacy Service has served more than 600 families through ash scattering memorials, consultations, memorial products and veterans urn assistance.
November 11, 2026 | Chicago to the Pacific
Exactly 100 years after Route 66 was established, Eternal Legacy Service plans to begin a more than 2,400-mile memorial journey from Chicago along America's Mother Road toward Santa Monica and the Pacific Ocean.
The $39,500 journey is planned to include up to 25 individually documented scattering moments, real-time journey tracking, professional photography, Scattering Moment videos, GPS documentation and a custom Route 66 Centennial keepsake book.
2027 | All 63 U.S. National Parks
Eternal Legacy Service is planning an approximately year-long memorial journey through every U.S. National Park, including parks in
Alaska, Hawaii and American Samoa.
The $149,500 journey will carry one loved one's cremated ashes through all 63 National Parks. Where scattering is legally permitted and practical, portions of the cremated ashes will be respectfully scattered and documented. The family will receive extensive documentation of the journey, including a completed U.S. National Parks Passport Book and custom memorial photo album.
Eternal Alaska Expands Nationwide as Eternal Legacy Service, Announces Two Extraordinary Memorial Journeys
Eternal Alaska announces its nationwide expansion as Eternal Legacy Service along with the Route 66 Centennial Legacy Journey
and the 63 National Parks Memorial Journey.
Stan Reese founded Eternal Alaska after experiences in Alaska and the death of his brother caused him to recognize a problem faced by many families after cremation: they may know where someone wanted their ashes scattered, but not know how to make that final wish happen.
What began as an Alaska-focused service has grown into Eternal Legacy Service, providing professionally documented ash scattering memorials at meaningful destinations across the United States.

The Washington Post — Rick Reilly
Washington Post columnist Rick Reilly interviewed Eternal Legacy Service founder Stan Reese for a column examining where and how families
scatter cremated ashes. The column featured an Eternal Legacy memorial in which a family paid $8,100 to have a

This "Scattering Moment" video captures a real ash scattering ceremony aboard Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas. After coordinating with Guest Services, Security, and the Captain, a biodegradable urn containing a loved one's cremated ashes was respectfully committed to the ocean
in accordance with cruise line policies and federal regulations.
This “Scattering Moment” video captures an unaccompanied ash scattering memorial conducted by Eternal Legacy in Denali National Park, Alaska, in September 2025. The family followed the journey through real-time tracking and received the video within minutes of the scattering. Every Eternal Legacy memorial is handled with transparency, dignity, and care.
This “Scattering Moment” video was sent to the family shortly after we completed an unaccompanied ash scattering service on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. Eternal Legacy provides GPS-tracked, fully documented cremation ash scattering services across the U.S., offering comfort, grief support, and beautiful memorial experiences for families.
This “Scattering Moment” video shows the ash scattering memorial conducted in Arizona, during an unaccompanied service. Eternal Legacy’s ash scattering services offer real-time tracking, GPS coordinates, and video documentation to honor final wishes and support families through the grief journey.
