Why Buntzen Lake Is a Meaningful Choice
Nestled between mountains near Anmore, Buntzen Lake is known for its still waters, forest trails, and quiet beaches. Many Vancouver families have walked its paths, swum in its waters, or picnicked along its shores with their dogs.
Holding a drone ash scattering here provides a peaceful farewell, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Lower Mainland.
How the Ceremony Takes Place
Families typically gather on the lakeshore before the drone takes flight. The drone rises over the lake’s calm surface, carrying the ashes toward the open water.
Once released, the ashes drift across the air and settle gently, merging with the surrounding landscape. The reflection of mountains and forests on the water adds a profound sense of connection.

Making the Farewell Personal
Families often add unique touches to the ceremony:
- Walking the dog’s favorite trail together before the scattering.
- Reading aloud letters or poems written for the dog.
- Releasing flowers or petals on the lake’s surface.
- Quietly reflecting by the shoreline after the drone flight.
