Are there any restrictions on where ashes (cremains) can be scattered or buried?
According to a local crematory, the only State restriction on scattering cremains is that if you are going to bury or scatter ashes on private property, you must have the permission of the property owner. With regards to scattering cremains on public lands, lakes, or streams, there are no restrictions in that regard, but we were advised to do it discreetly and privately. For more on this subject, see the FCA Newsletter article entitled “Scatter Brained” (page 6).
