there is no relevant section in law that determine who owns the ashes of the deceased, however, one would assume that the same legal principal applies regarding the deceased's property. if the deceased was married at time of death, the wife is entitled to keep the ashes at her own will, or may delegate ownership to the parental figures in question, or any person who she permits to have the ashes.
