My dad's wishes were to be buried at see (or just off the coast by three miles) and we did so. . his cremated ashes were poured into the water with family and guests in attendance. I couldn't go as it was very rough, many seasick, and just herniated a disc so standing and walking was not easy. commercial ceremony paid for with a sailing vessel out of gloucester, ma,

My uncle's ashes were scattered by family members in Long Island Sound, from a friends boat. .

CoachK's wishes are to have her ashes used to fill golf divots at a course of her choice.. . . 18 holes course. .

there is plant a tree over the ashes. .

There are many ways to dispose of ashes after cremation. . . and they don't have to involve money. .
