Would you be breaking that promise if you scattered them in May but maybe not this may.Also have you considered keeping some.A small amount either in or made into a piece of jewellery.Its very early days yet to make a decision if you are having some doubts.M
My husband made no requests he died suddenly but neither me or his children could make a decision and getting together was also geographically difficult.His son collected the ashes and kept them.It took six years.Both his daughters and mine have kept some for jewellery.and we scattered half of the rest and I brought the rest home.I have got a plain casket ordered and will get an artist friend to paint our favourite place on it.It will just be like a jewellery box to anyone who doesn't know not an urn on the mantelpiece.But I,be told my girls I want half my ashes in there with him and they can do what they want with the rest,or if they prefer scatter us together in that place.All this happened two weeks ago but I too,even after all this time,am glad to have at least part of him with me.Even though my personal belief is that the spirit is separate from the body and his spirit has always been close.
