Which term would you use to name a cemetery area for scattering cremated remains?

• A. Scattering garden
• B. Section
• C. Rim
• D. Satin

Answer: (A)

Naming a cemetery area for scattering cremated remains should clearly convey both purpose and ambiance. The term “scattering garden” does this best because it signals that the space is specifically designed for the scattering of cremains and is set in a tranquil, landscaped environment. The word garden implies a peaceful, contemplative place that's suitable for visitors to reflect and pay respects, which aligns with how cemeteries organize spaces for different funeral and memorial practices.

Other terms don’t fit as well. A “section” is a generic division of space used for locating graves, not for the act of scattering. It doesn’t indicate a dedicated area for scattering cremains. A “rim” would be an unfamiliar or inappropriate designation for cemetery geography and carries no clear meaning about function. “Satin” has no relevance to cemetery areas and would be confusing as a name.
