I found this on Affinity Cremation's web site (link below) There are no laws in Florida prohibiting scattering ashes.Florida Law does not prohibit scattering ashes. This does not mean, however, that you may spread or scatter the ashes anywhere you choose.
• You should not spread or scatter ashes on public lands or any inland bodies of water such as streams, rivers or lakes, etc.
• You may spread, scatter or bury ashes on any private land that you own or have obtained permission from the owner. We would suggest that you obtain this permission in writing.
• Many states have different laws regarding this subject. If you are considering spreading or scattering ashes somewhere other than Florida, you should check the laws of that state before proceeding.
• Scattering or spreading ashes in the ocean is permitted, however federal regulations do specify this should be done only beyond 3 miles from the coast. http://affinitycremation.com/questions.html#ten

Wyoming does not have specific laws regarding the spreading of cremated remains.

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