What are the laws in Wyoming regarding the spreading of cremated remains?

In: Law & Legal Issues [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

The state does not have specific laws to such action. The legal assumption is that the authorized person/family member will use a method that is respectful, adherent to the wishes of the deceased (if directions were not included in a will), pursuant to the existing health codes and will not create a public disruption (spreading ashes in a public place).

Answer:

Spreading the ashes would constitute waste disposal so they cannot be spread in water or on land adjacent to a water course. Apparently Disneyland has quite a problem with ashes being dumped into the exhibit areas.

Alternately the ashes can be:

Kept in an urn by the next of kin (a ready source for humorous accidents)
Scattered at a favourite place (not as pleasant as it is on TV or movies as corpse dust gets blown into your eyes and mouth)
Tossed out with the trash
Left with the crematorium - it's their problem
