(in the US) Technically, I believe that every state has regulations regarding the spreading of cremains. A quick phone call to a local funeral home in a state which borders one of the Lakes, should answer your qeustion.

Michigan does not have a state law controlling where ashes can be scattered. However, people should check with federal and EPA laws before spreading ashes out at sea, or on federal land.

Can human ashes be spread in France?

Yes, human ashes can be spread in France. There are many legal conditions. You can disperse the ashes at sea (at least 300 meters from the shore, 6 km when still in their container (a salt or cardboard one). You cannot disperse them in rivers, in small private properties (a garden), anywhere near public roads. You can spread ashes in large private properties with the owner's consent, or in public places away from the general public (a forest, for example). Finally, towns of over 2,000 inhabitants have a place in their cemetery (le jardin du souvenir: the remembrance garden) where you can spread the ashes. In any case, the city council must be informed in advance.
