If you want to be cremated after you die, where would you want your ashes spread? As it turns out Cumberland Falls State Resort Park is a popular option in Kentucky.
When it comes to final wishes, being buried in a cemetery or having one’s ashes spread in a private garden is often the standard procedure. However, this is not always possible due to full cemeteries and legal restrictions on where ashes can be spread. But what if there were no restrictions? What if you could choose the ultimate resting place for your ashes?
Choice Mutual, an insurance agency specializing in final expense life insurance, sought to answer this question by surveying 3,000 people, asking them hypothetically where they would have their ashes spread if there were no restrictions. The results were fascinating, revealing the top choices for each state, which Choice Mutual displayed in a comprehensive ranking:
At the top of the list in Kentucky is Red River Gorge, but Cumberland Falls State Resort Park came in second on the list.
Cumberland Falls State Resort Park is also a preferred location for many Kentucky residents due to its breathtaking waterfall, often referred to as the “Niagara of the South.”
The majestic Cumberland Falls, known for its stunning “moonbow” phenomenon, creates a tranquil and picturesque setting for reflection and remembrance. The park’s lush forests, scenic trails, and serene river views make it a beloved spot for nature lovers and those who appreciate the beauty of Kentucky’s natural landscapes.
Churchill Downs came in third on the list of Kentucky places.
“These survey results are a fascinating glimpse into the personal and cultural significance we attach to our ultimate resting places,” says Anthony Martin, CEO and Founder of Choice Mutual. “It’s clear that people are choosing locations that resonate deeply with their experiences and identities. Whether it’s a beloved sports venue, a place of natural beauty, or a historic landmark, each choice tells a story about what matters most to us in life -and in death.”
