Who has legal right to father's ashes?
My father passed away in March 1, 2009, and his wishes were to have some of his ashes placed with his mom and then the rest scattered in Pine Island,Florida. I was in the hospital at the time I was notified and the police were involved due to the possible murder of him. After that initial phone call from my Aunt in Tennessee I was unable to get in contact with her again, and only read about the funeral arrangements in the newspaper after it had happened. Supposedly my uncle carries the urn with my Dad's ashes around with him and I have no idea what happened with my father's things. All I want to do is to make sure that my father's wishes are carried out and possibly a memento of his. What can I do? Please help, I have no idea what to do. I've been trying to locate the police department that was involved to at least find out what happened there, but all I know about my Aunt and Uncle is that they are somewhere in Tennessee.
