I've never heard that spreading ashes was illegal. I might have to change my last wishes. Seems crazy that you can put a body and casket that will stay in the ground for who knows how long but spreading ashes that will leave no trash is forbidden?

I always thought it was illegal to put ashes in the lake. I didn't know it was to spread them on the ground in this state.

Default NH Law

Hate to rain on the parade (bad joke this week), but the cremation law in NH requires the crematory to place the cremains in a "permanent container" for final disposition. The law seems to be silent as to what the owner is to do with the cremains. In other words, silent as to what final disposition really is. Seems to anticipate burial of the cremains in the permanent container.

I fear that DES would frown on the lake being used as a final resting place, since the state owns the lake. I seem to recall that the Navy has to go outside US jurisdictional limits to bury someone at sea.

FLL, most of the time your posts make me shake my head and decide to ignore the inappropriate content. Can't do it anymore. Assuming this is a grieving family, asking a valid question about the lake, your post is not only inappropriate, but callous and in poor taste.
