About Lakeland Legacy Ash Scattering

---

Hello — I’m Martin. I live in the north of Cumbria with my wife and our two dogs, surrounded by trees, fields, and the quiet rhythm of the Lake District.

Lakeland Legacy is a small, one-person service. It isn’t commercial in scale, and it isn’t about volume. It’s simply something I offer alongside my full-time job — a way of helping, when I can, with something that feels meaningful and worth doing properly.

I plan and carry out every scattering myself. By kayak. By hand. Slowly and with care. I don’t rush, I don’t outsource, and I don’t treat it like a process.

If you’re looking for a way to scatter a loved one’s ashes on a lake or at sea, I can help with that — in a peaceful place, with thought for the landscape, for others, and for the person being remembered. 

For families who prefer a land-based farewell, I also offer a consultancy service, to advise on permissions and help identify suitable places.

I think that matters. A real place. A real person. A quiet act, carried out with respect and purpose.

I’ve spent most of my life working in public service — where attention to detail, calm judgement, and responsibility were second nature. That mindset comes with me when I paddle out.

If this sounds like the right kind of goodbye, I’d be glad to help.

You can find me on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok  — I post updates and quiet moments from the water. You’ll also find kind personal words from people who know me, and trust me to do this well.

Thank you for your interest, Martin
