    Step father won't share mothers ashes with her son
    After my mother died and cremated, my stepfather refuses to share some of her ashes with me, am I legally entitled to some of her ashes?

    Did your mom have a will or made arrangements for how this should be handled? Generally couples discuss their wishes between them and if there is nothing in writing the spouse handles all the arrangements. I have never heard of any automatic rights to remains.

    Sorry for your loss, but unless you have something in writing from your mom, you may be stuck.

    Was there a will ( as asked) was there an estate? Normally a persons husband or wife would be the one to have the ashes.

    I am sorry for the loss.
