(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.
Yes
Check with the county where you want the ashes to be spread. Disposal of human remains (including cremains) is governed by county and city ordinances.
It is not legal to pour human remains into any body of water
Don't know, but I'm going to do it tomorrow!
It is leagal to sprinkle ashes at a sea,lake,or river.If someone wants to be barried at a lake,sea,por river there should be no problem.
No, it is not illegal to spread human ashes in Oregon. A property owner could sue you if you do not ask permission to spread the human ashes on their property though.
It is not legal to dispose of human remains anyplace. You are not going to be able to legally arrange to scatter your husband's ashes in the Seine.
Legally yes.. EPA requires all body disposals, ashes included, to be at least 3 nautical miles from land. Does anybody really care... I doubt it. Seems to be a very common place to spread the ashes as most of us cannot afford a sea charter boat.
No

How can you spread your own ashes? ... Just messin any way due to Federal health regulations it IS illegal to spread ashes within tree nautical miles of land however WITH PERMISSION you may spread them on private property in national parks and of course your own property.
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.
