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.

You must apply for a Special Use Permit before scattering ashes in some area such as Grand Teton National Park.
