    I want my family to get my ashes and then wait until my brother is sleeping and then sprinkle them on his face then wait until he wakes up HAHAHAHAH that would be so funny.

    It's funny that you ask about this as I, this afternoon, did just that with my mothers ashes. I flushed her down the toilet while singing "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead". It's true. Then I took me a good shit and as I flushed that down I said, "Hey mom! INCOMMING!". God as my witness.

    yes within reason...I actually believe it against the law to scatter the remains of the dead regardless of their wishes although many people continue to do it anyway

    Some jurisdictions have regulations about places you may not spread them.

    Often someone who gets cremated has stated wishes for where they want the ashes to be scattered. i.e. off the top of a mountain, or from a sailboat etc.
