In California, there are clear regulations and processes for spreading ashes. The specific points are as follows：
Specification and implementation process of ashes spreading：
1.1 The spreading of ashes is generally carried out by a person with the right to dispose of them, or it can be performed by his designated agent. Such as licensed cemetery employees, brokers, crematorium employees, registered ash spreaders, funeral home employees, or family members of the deceased.
1.2 If a person has not disposed of or has not proposed to dispose of more than 10 ashes within one year, he also has the right to sprinkle ashes.
1.3 The law requires that the ashes sprinkling operation be completed within 60 days after receiving the ashes. If it is postponed, the person who has the right to dispose of the ashes must be notified in writing of the reason.
1.4 If the deceased passes away outside of California, arrangements can be made to cremate the ashes in other places, and then send them to the designated trustee of the deceased for spreading the ashes.
