My parents were cremated and their ashes spread at sea. I plan tho follow suit.

I want my ashes dumped into the source of the Cache La Poudre River. However, my wife says she will bury me next to her mother if I do not behave.

I thought someone had to be a Heinlein fan. No epitaphs for that family.

I'm reminded of the guy who wishes were to be cremated and have his ashes spread over the 18th green at his regular golf course. When asked if she complied with his wishes, his wife responded "I did have him cremated, but I put the ashes in the sand trap where they belonged."

Not for a while at least.
