Rock Chuck: I have NEVER heard of a charge being brought or of a prosecution for "spreading loved ones ashes" on public or private lands! And "I" been around. Even the demonrat cretins who spread the ashes of the animalistic mass murderer known as ted bundy, out the window of an airplane over my beloved Cascade Mountains was NOT charged or prosecuted! SO... no charges - no prosecutions - no worries. Technically legal or not no prosecution then no punishment or worries. Do not let the sound of your own wheels drive YOU crazy! Don't worry, be happy. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy That's my whole point. It's regulations for sake of regulating. None of their rules are enforceable. 1st they'd have to recover the ashes for evidence, then they have have to prove who it was and who scattered them. Totally impossible. Nobody gives a damn about their rules. When someone dies, the family has enough to worry about without contending with some stupid permit or rules. Screw 'em.

I’m with Mackay_Sagebrush; it ain’t their land! It belongs to the public. I also don’t like the fact that they consider all the wildlife that inhabits my land is theirs to regulate. How about they loaning me dozers and tractors, fuel for them and my chainsaw? They could pony up some cash for seed and fertilizer for food plots too. Or even a tax break for such items instead of giving this country away.

The charter boat captain next to my buddy’s boat on Lake Michigan tells the story of the family wanting to go out on the boat and spread their dad’s ashes. Before the captain could position the boat they threw the ashes up wind! Big mistake because they all came back wearing lots of dad’s ashes.

Told the kids, toss the box into the nearest dumpster on the way home from crematorium.
I will no longer exist at that time and will not care. . I look at it a little differently. You'll actually be a few pounds of soil nutrients. In the places I've been fortunate enough to take big game animals, returning those nutrients to the soil where their offspring eat is kind of a full circle thing.

In the places I've been fortunate enough to take big game animals, returning those nutrients to the soil where their offspring eat is kind of a full circle thing. I'm a fish dude, also love wildlife. I'd really like to go out somewhere in the wilderness, and not be found until the critters and elements had properly disposed of my "nutrients". Perhaps I can make that happen, if I'm still in good enough shape to get to such a place the trackers won't find me or can't get to me, when it's my time to leave. When I was a lad, and doing the partying thing, it was made known to my friends that should an "accident" occur they should take me to the backcountry and deposit me deep in the chaparral in a big canyon where the 'yotes and such could reduce me to what nature makes of most things in life.............fertilizer of one sort or another. As that may not happen, I'd next prefer to be buried at sea, wrapped in an old canvas, tied with hemp rope. Let the aquatic critters I made a livelihood from reap some of the benefit of my good eating.

If it’s illegal, what are they going to do? Sift the ashes out of the dirt and make you take them back? This is one of those things that while it’s illegal I don’t see how they would ever prove it happened unless you announce it

My FIL and my wife's grandmother are at a spot overlooking the upper Owens Valley. It's beautiful spot. We intend to leave our ashes there. DGAF what Forest Circus says about ashes. FFS, we're not putting bodies there.

An interesting sideline of scattering ashes is the old practice of burial at sea, especially in the sailing ship days. They had no way to preserve a body so they put them overboard. It was an interesting ritual. They didn't have coffins available and sail cloth was precious so the body was sewed into the man's own hammock as a shroud. If he died of a serious disease, his clothing was sewn in with him to get it off the ship. 2 cannon balls or other heavy weights were tied around the feet to take it to the bottom quickly. As the shroud was sewed shut, the last stitch was through the nose. The idea was to make sure the man was dead. They figured that a large needle through the nose would wake up anyone was still alive. Medicine being what it was in the 1800's and earlier, live burials were in everyone's mind and everyone feared it. This nose thing was more than just making sure that didn't bury someone alive. Sailors have always been very superstitious. They believed that if a live man was buried at sea, his spirit would follow the ship and bring terror or death to those aboard. Likely the ship would never make port again in one manner or another. Sewing through the nose had another practical aspect - in case the body should come out of the shroud on the way down, it was still attached and guaranteed to sink.

Never ask any questions that you do not want to know the answer to.
RIP Dad, enjoy that last resting place in Big Sky.

And a dead skunk 20 ft off a trail at Jellystone NP is not an issue.
But someone's ashes spread on the downlow is a hideous thing.

Well I figure to have my ashes poured out where all my dogs are buried. Legal or not. For a long time I wanted to send them off into the wind from a ridge behind Superior Wyoming but home is where your dogs lie. I like that and will direct that mine are scattered in the Russian Olive grove, where my many old friends are buried.

A friend of mine wants his remains scattered across Disneyland, but he doesn’t want to be cremated.
