It is illegal to dump ashes overboard. Read annex 5 of the MARPOL treaty.

Be careful of the winds, dump the urn as close to the water as possible on
the leeward side. I don't want to go into detail in what went wrong
spreading the ashes of my brother in law, but think of riding in an open car
on a coal fired train.

I need some help. A very good friend of mine just died. He and his
wife loved to sail with us. She called and told me she would like to
have Steve's ashes thrown overboard into the sound. Since the boat is
not very big (25') we plan on having the bulk of the memorial party on
shore at our house. What is the "proper" way to set the boat up..ie
flags, bunting,etc. He died in Mexico so it will be a few days before
his ashes return here. Any suggestion will be appreciated.
