(24,029 posts)(an aside...I have donated body to UVM for research)... but when my dad died couple of years ago I wanted to spread his ashes in a number of places where he lived in Vermont... most went to Barr Hill where my great Uncle had a farm...

I also wanted to spread some ashes at a homestead where he grew up... now a very popular brewery in rural Vermont

the owner of the brewery is my second cousin and I went there on a busy day with my brother, and kids... we couldn't find my cousin and needed to do the deed so we could be on our way (after having a few beers) I decided to sneakily throw out a few of the ashes in front of the old homestead (now his house)
in the midst of throwing the ashes I saw him running out to meet me, him looking very angry thinking some weirdo was casting a spell on his house, until he recognized who we were... he was ok at that point but it was a good story to tell
the moral of the story... "don't ask, don't tell"
the ashes in the wind at Barr Hill...
