There is a company that will encase part of the ashes in little vials they may be on line..Ask the crematorium ,they may do the same service. I have had friends and family spread ashes on mountain sides ,beaches, and other family members graves and at the finish line at the racetrack.A place that made them happy.God bless you and your family.

I'm sorry to hear that. Yes the ashes can be seperated/shared. My dad is in with his cousin and half is with his mom who was buried back in Louisiana. So I believe you need to make arrangements with the people who will handle your services.

God Bless you sweetie. I'll put you in my prayers.

you can split them, or take turns on when you keep them or you could spread them in an appropriate area.

I believe that you can ask the funeral home or crematorium, (i think thats what its called) to separate it. call your local funeral home just to be sure, but i dont see why not. i'm truly sorry to hear about your diagnosis and wish you and your family many happy years together!

please help me spread the word about the government agency that is destroying american families, read my devastating story through my profile.

Yes. The ashes will be given to your family to do as they please. There are some limitations on where they can be spread. If they are going to spread them, you might check on laws. There was one family who was dumbping their loved ones ashes out on a water ride at Disney Land. They stopped them from doing that.

I would imagine you could unless the cemetery has some rules against it.
