Cremated ashes can be put thrown or placed virtually anywhere (They are now also being sent to outer space) depending on the wishes of the cremated person or the person that has the ashes.

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

It is often stated that the ashes of cremated civil servants are put into hourglasses so the government can finally get some work out of them.
