If You Get Cremated What Do You Want Done With Your Ashes?

So my sister in law recently died and she will be getting cremated. I told my brother about the biodegradable urn that has a tree seed in it to grow.
She was 36 so the subject never really was brought up on what to do in this situation.
What would you guys want done with your ashes?

My ashes should be scattered into a strong western wind. As the sun sets in the west so shall I be westing in peace.

if i knew i was going to die, id specify in my will a portion of my ashes to each of a few people who i care about and i know care about me. id tell them to honor me any way they wanted with the ashes. keep em, put em in some soil and grow a tree, put them in a body of water, whatever makes them feel better
id like my ashes give the people who loved me an opportunity to either keep a part of me, a way to let go, or whatever. i dont think my afterlife would be effected by how my remains were dealt with, so if they can be a comfort to those ive left behind, they can do whatever they want

The bio-degradeable urn is pretty nice. I wouldnt mind being a tree.
Cool tree though. Not a gay tree

Yea. That turning into a tree thing sounds pretty awesome.
I'd probably go with releasing my ashes into the ocean. It's where I've spent the majority of my life on or by it. Only makes sense I'm fish food one day after catching and eating so many fish my whole life.
The circle of life man. I like it.

Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Placed in a pepper shaker on the kitchen table. Nobody gets the contents of my will unless they lay 100% undisturbed for ten years after my death.

I want my ashes shot out into space, so that it drifts for eternity in the emptiness of space. This or I want my ashes to orbit the Earth.

Having your ashes shot into orbit isn't the best idea IMO. Not only is it probably pretty damn expensive, it would also fall back down after a while and burn up in the atmosphere.
Being shot out far enough to drift through space sounds pretty cool though. If you have the money to do so.

Yeah if I had the money to do it I would, the reason I want to orbit the Earth is that I want to stay close to my home, to orbit in eternity around this beautiful ball but really and truly I want to drift forever in space and eventually a part of me will be a star and a part will be some creature in the distant future. Though I will be dead, it is still something I would like to have.

Right on man. That's a beautiful way to look at it.

You can stay on earth and in about 2.8 billion years you will be part of a star

Is that when the sun is supposed to go supernova and swallow Earth whole?
edit: Maybe supernova isn't the correct term. Idk

If I'm getting close to death I'm going to try to walk out into the woods somewhere and die there so my body will remain on top of the soil.
If I die before that I would want my ashes to be mixed with cow poo and penis envy mycelium.
