How it all started

---

In his former role as a nature guide in Alaska, Stan Reese frequently heard visitors express a desire to be brought back to the place they cherished so deeply. They wished for their ashes to be scattered in this majestic wilderness as part of their final journey.

This concept gave birth to Eternal Alaska in 2018 when Stan found himself atop a high peak in the Alaska Mountain Range. As he gazed upon Denali (formerly Mt McKinley), the tallest mountain in North America, he felt a profound sense of belonging and tranquility. He discovered an eternal peace in the raw beauty of Alaska.

Now, having carried out numerous Alaska Ash Scattering memorials in Alaska, Hawaii, New York and other areas, his faith in this vision has only solidified. Ash scattering should be a service that respects the memory of the departed and provides personal significance.

This vision grows stronger as Stan expands the offerings to include Ash Scatterings not just in the United States but in other remarkable locations around the globe.
