Where and when should I scatter the ashes?
You can wait until you have chosen a place. Outside your own land, rules differ, and some places need the landowner's permission.
A real example
In November 2024, Douliu City in Yunlin, Taiwan, opened a pet ash scattering and tree-burial area at a public memorial park, with 200 plots. Each costs NT$2,000, and owners apply at the park office.
