Eternal Alaska
Alaska Ash Scattering Memorials
Eternal Alaska is the Alaska specialty of Eternal Legacy Service, helping families carry out meaningful ash scattering memorials in some of Alaska’s most extraordinary landscapes.
From Denali and remote wilderness to glaciers, coastal waters and Southeast Alaska, we personally coordinate and document each memorial with real-time tracking, Scattering Moment video, GPS documentation and professional photography.
Why Alaska? Where Eternal Legacy Began
Eternal Legacy began in Alaska.
Before becoming a nationwide ash scattering memorial service, we were known as Eternal Alaska.
The idea began while founder Stan Reese was working in the Alaska wilderness and heard visitors speak about wanting to return to Alaska as their final resting place. That idea became deeply personal after the death of Stan’s brother. When the funeral home handed over his brother’s cremated ashes with little guidance about what came next, Stan recognized how many families are left with an important final wish but no clear way to carry it out.
Eternal Alaska was created to help bridge that gap.
Today, Eternal Alaska is the Alaska specialty of Eternal Legacy Service, with memorial options in Denali National Park, coastal waters, glaciers and remote wilderness locations.
Families searching for an Alaska ash scattering service can expect the same personal care that built our reputation from the beginning, including real-time tracking, Scattering Moment video, GPS documentation, professional photography and a memorial certificate.
Eternal Alaska is where the journey began. Eternal Legacy is where it continues.
Final Wishes. Granted.
