You can spread your ashes wherever you want, I have a hard time trying to understand how someone would be charged with the offense of scattering your ashes somewhere, unless you wanted to be scattered on your local courthouse's steps.
I've read that some company near Chicago does green burials, where they plant a tree with your ashes in the ground beneath the root ball. All of these trees are on private land and protected, as well as cared for. Loved ones can come and visit your tree and watch it grow over time.
I was going to go with cremation. However, my mother's two spots became available when she went into the ground with her husband. Since there's no environmental gain from not being buried, as a result of the availability of the plot and the plot being otherwise unusable me and my wife may be buried there.
As the Dropkick Murphy's song goes "You can stack me on a pyre soak me down with whisky and toast me for awhile. Roast me to a blackened crisp and throw me in a pile. I could really give a s*it, I'm going out in style!"
I have a very special bottle of whisky and a bunch of shot glasses for the top of my coffin so everyone can have a drink on me.
Either that or a Viking funeral to appease the distaff side of my family.
My preference is cremation and put into a gravesite with a headstone. Are there any gravesites available in your cemetery? Down the road, your older children, grandchildren, and descendants will have a place to come to. They may be busy now, but your being in a cemetery gives them a place for connection and pilgrimage. They will have a reason to take a trip, to stand near you, remember you, and remember themselves with you. It is comforting and healing to be able to do this.

I go to synagogue and get the same result by praying with people (when they let us do that that is).
Either cremate or send me on down to the medical waste incinerator.
I'd like a marker detailing how much I liked outdoor pursuits, like hiking, kayaking, boating, and that I was a patron of local small businesses and breweries.
