Thanks for the responses, everyone. Over in this [thread,](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/options-for-the-disposition-of-a-loved-ones-cremated-remains-years-after-their-death/942173) **@Thelma Lou** uses the term “disposition.” I trust her in all matters, so I’ll get over my etymological hangups and say that.
