Nowadays, when society is constantly evolving and changing, there are also new ideas about traditonal ways of saying goodbye to our loved ones. I have tried to come up with an innovative approach to the final farewell, which is the pouring of ashes into a pond, which not only offers an aesthetic and symbolic element, but also connects people with nature. Traditional burial in the ground or in an urn may no longer suit today's individual needs and values. Water itself symbolizes life and renewal. Scatering ashes in a pond can thus be and peaceful way to say goodbye while serving as a place for the family to reflect and remember. It offers a pleasant and meaningful way to say a final goodbye, while opening up space for new and personal perspectives on death and the memory of the deceased.
