They didn't show her dumping out the ashes but it was implied that she did. She said something like "it's time for me to make space for Toby" or something along those lines and they never showed her actually doing it
Which, given this set of writers, makes me suspicious. Why not show her casting the ashes in the wind?

Sometimes a rose is just a rose...
They cut it because they thought it was more powerful if not shown. From an interview with co-showrunner Elizabeth Berger:
TVLINE | Is there anything that you really wanted in the wedding episode that didn’t make it in?
Ooh, interesting. One of the things that we chose to do in editing, which was a surprise to us, was not show Kate spreading the ashes. It was something that we always thought we’d include, but when we got into the edit bay, we realized that it was more powerful offscreen to us, that it was the journey of getting to that emotional place that we cared about more than seeing the physical act of doing it. So that was an instance where we imagined it one way and you get in there and you decide, “I think it’s better this way.”
TVLINE | I was wondering: Did she spread all the ashes? Did she save any?
In our minds, she did. She felt like it was time.

Yes, and if they hadn't deceived us before, with, for example, that setup in which we were led to believe that Jack killed himself while drunk driving, I might feel more inclined to take these people at face value. But they did. So I don't.

I thought Kate said something about giving up a little of her dad when she was sitting on the tree stump.
That made me think she only spread some of his ashes.
Yeah, I don’t think they’d say “you ready to see her?” if it were Alzheimer’s, since that doesn’t come on suddenly. My father has it, and he’s been gradually declining for about 6-7 years now... so unless they hadn’t been in contact with her for that long, they’d already be accustomed to her condition. I guess you could say this is good or bad depending on your perspective, but I/we have time to adjust between every stage of my father’s illness.
My guess (like someone else mentioned) was that Deja is in prison. Just given how they ended it with her act of vandalism and rage, that implied to me that she was about to head down a bad path. I was looking hard for some kind of hint, like prison doors or armed guards, but couldn’t see anything to support my suspicion. We’ll see!
I wonder if Beth has a full blown nervous breakdown.
