When a person is cremated is the family allowed to do what they wish with the ashes?

Answer 1

of course, that's why you hear about people who are being creamated and thrown out to see bc of their love for it

you can eat them if ud like, although i wouldn't recommend that you do so.

think of it this way, you paid someone to creamate someone you love, therefore it is your right to do what you want with that product

Alternately:

The ashes can be:

• Kept in an urn by the next of kin (a ready source for humorous accidents)
• Scattered at a favourite place (not as pleasant as it is on TV or movies as corpse dust gets blown into your eyes and mouth)
• Tossed out with the trash
• Left with the crematorium - it's their problem

Answer 2

You have many choices when it comes to the urn. Some people will leave it at home for a while others will immediately purchase a final resting place. Of course the risk of leaving the urn at home, specially if it is your spouse is what will happens with your ashes and your spouses ashes after your cremation.

Some people will choose scattering the ashes which can seem romantic but can also make it harder for people to visit or future generations to make a connection.

As far as a final resting place goes there are many choices. There are indoor options, outdoor options and in ground options as well. Check this site out it explains all of the various options:
