→Cremation
The cremated remains are returned to the executor or person who has the legal authority to control the disposition of the cremated remains. As long as the cremated remains are treated with respect, the law does not limit what you can do with them. You can scatter the remains, keep them at home, take them overseas, put them in a garden on private property, or inter them in a cemetery.
If permitted by municipal bylaws, the remains can be scattered on <span class="noglossary">land</span>, sea, or air or in any place that has personal meaning. The Funeral Service Association of BC has information about cremation on their website in the section on "[http://www.bcfunerals.com/public-when-death-occurs/burial-or-cremation/cremation-explained Burial or Cremation]."
