I'm to be cremated and dumped into the gulf with as little hoopla as possible. Life goes on.

I brought this up recently at Pat's on the Lake during an extended bar session. If we wanted to do this on Lake Pontchartrain, is there a law against it? Who would one ask? Just do it and see if the Sheriff's Lake Patrol can get there in time to put it out before it sinks?
Inquiring minds want to know.

I’m a converted Catholic and from what I’ve learned cremation is not preferred but is allowed by the Church. Also, I understand the ashes should be kept in their entirety in a container of some kind and not spread anywhere.
Since my battle with pancreatic cancer this past year I’ve given it a lot of thought. I’m kind of on the fence but I despise the funeral industry and don’t want to give them any more money than I have to. I’m leaning toward cremation and changing the directives in my will to cremation and having a party afterward. I’ll put together a playlist.

I don't really have any preference on the issue since I'll be dead and won't feel anything one way or the other. Whatever the family prefers is good with me.

This is what my late father-in-law did and also one of his sons.
For some reason, they kept the old man's body 3+ years before returning the ashes and less than a year for his son's remains (cremains) as they are called to be returned.
They pick up the body and transport it to the Medical School, use it as they see fit, cremate it and return the ashes to the family when done.
The donor themselves has to make those arrangements beforehand is how I understand it.

Why would this be a church law? It's certainly not in the Bible. I say this as a Christian, not someone trying to knock the Catholic church. Just seems like an unnecessary made up rule by the church. There is no specific Bible command for burial or cremation. There are Bible accounts of burials and essentially cremation.
Gen. 3:19 "For dust you are and dust you will return." You are quite literally returning to dust with cremation, the same thing that would happen to you in a casket, just faster.

Burial - but that's mainly because I already own the rights to a space next to my Mom's grave in a small family plot along with my grandmother and other close relatives. It's either I go in that space or some random stranger does.
They do inter cremated remains in a burial container in the ground My Godfather (Paran) opted for this and is in the ground next to his better half.
Disposal of cremated remains is legal in all 50 states, but some states have specific laws concerning it and it can vary by state.

I was told by a old man about 30 years ago he wanted to be cremated and his ashes spread on the beach at the florabama so he could continue to end up in the panties of good looking women until the end of time.
I now share that same belief.

Cremation. There is a cemetery close by to us, which is also by Oak Mountain State Park, that has a cremation garden overlooking a large pond. I told my wife to burn me up, put the urn in a hole, and put a bench on my little spot overlooking the water.

Cremation and scatter my ashes. Land is for the living.
