If you are referring to spreading of cremated remains: It depends on which state you are looking to spread in. In California, to spread ashes in the ocean it must be done 500 yards off shore. One cannot spread ashes themselves off of a bridge, pier or dock. On private land the land owner must give written permission. Some cemeteries offer scattering gardens for one to do the scattering themselves. There are companies that will scatter ashes for you by aircraft or boat, just to name a few options. Here in California ashes can be spread in the Pacific or Bay waters or on land.

Wyoming does not have specific laws regarding the spreading of cremated remains. The legal assumption is that the authorized person/family member will use a method that is respectful, adherent to the wishes of the deceased (if directions were not included in a will), pursuant to the existing health codes and will not create a public disruption (spreading ashes in a public place). You must apply for a Special Use Permit before scattering ashes in some area such as Grand Teton National Park.
