No law states that you can't scatter remains in a public place. I'm sure this would be different though if you did it in someone's yard, but that's not the case. You can scatter cremated remains anywhere at any time.

Can you transport cremated human remains from Versailles France to Scotland England by air?

According to the French public service website, there is no reason you can't take away cremated remains, provided that: - it is not against the deceased's will and arrangements (if they are known); - remains are treated with respect, dignity and decency. It is likely that ashes can't travel into the airplane cabin, but only in registered luggage. It is also safe to assume that Scotland has regulations of its own regarding the disposal of the remains after arrival.

Can cremated human remains be of any benefit to plants in gardening or forestry?

The ash that remains after a human has been cremated contains the heavy metals that the human has accumulated during its life. These heavy metals like Quicksilver are poisonous in big doses and they accumulates in the bodies of all living things, So no it would not be a good idea to use them for anything like mulch in a garden. so what if it contain a few heavy metals? the ash is mostly pottasioum which is great for plants. but why only give the plants the ash? give them the whole body! saves creamation and its even better for them with all the goody nutrients.zaf.
