Factual Questions

Okay, so people can have ashes shot into space, spread at sea, blowing in the wind, or soon, if not already, 3d printed into a smaller version of their former selves…

My question though, is about peoples ashes that are spread out and kept at various sites through the world, who is the most well spread?

This arose in my mind after visiting the Mount Pleasant Radio Observatory and the Grote Reber Museum today, (What an interesting man, don’t understand why I never heard his name at school) and noticing the world map displaying his many final resting places, unfortunately, I didn’t grab a pic of it, nor can I find one easily find one, but the info from wiki confirms:

"He was looked after in his final days at the Ouse District Hospital, about 50 km northwest of Hobart, Tasmania, where he died in 2002, two days before his 91st birthday. **His ashes are located **at Bothwell Cemetery, just past New Norfolk in Tasmania and at many major radio observatories around the world:

That gives me 18 different locations across multiple countries, which may not even be close to the record, but more than anyone else that comes to my mind at the moment, so I ask the more knowledgeable masses of the sdmb…

I don’t know about public figures, but when my wife died, her remains were cremated. At the celebration of her life, I filled a hundred small envelopes with a tablespoon or so of her ashes and set them out in a punch bowl. I explained at the party that we hadn’t had the opportunity to travel as much as we wanted to, so if they were going someplace warm, sprinkle her ashes in an interesting place. By the end of the night, all the envelopes were gone, and I have heard from a number of people about where they spread a little bit of Pam.

THis is exactly what I want done. I plan it, not so much so my ashes go someplace, rather to encourage (force?:D) people to go on a trip somewhere in my memory. I figure they may not go unless they have some external motivation and I want to give them that.
I’m even planning on giving some suggestions to my favorite places and may try to dedicate funds for travel to essentially force people to take a vacation to see these places.

I suspect Fear Itself is not unique in this aspect

From Wikipedia. “After his death, Buddha’s cremation relics were divided amongst 8 royal families and his disciples; centuries later they would be enshrined by King Ashoka into 84,000 stupas.”

I have been involved in spreading a tiny bit of several different scuba divers’ ashes. In each case the family distributed a sample of ashes to be taken by friends to unique dive destinations for release, typically underwater.

I’ve heard anywhere from a handful to several dozen destinations per decedent.

Clyde Tombaugh, the guy who discovered Pluto, was cremated.

Some of his ashes were put on the New Horizons probe, the one to Pluto. So I’d say Mr. Tombaugh wins at least on distance, his ashes not only having flown by Pluto but now being outward-bound to interstellar space.

My brother’s ashes are in every Major League Baseball stadium (or, at least, the ones around in 1995).
