I was curious myself and this post compelled me to look it up. That's the information I found. I do know people that have used ashes in a flower garden. It's kind of nice sitting around with friends remembering about the days gone by and reminiscing about our friend that is no longer with us.
Outdoors in the ground usually doesn't pose any issues if they're spread out. In a soil mix It's probably not a good idea. I'd rather people spread my ashes in the wind on the Oregon coast or put them outside around roses and such.

“Wood ash is an excellent source of lime and potassium for your garden. Not only that, using ashes in the garden also provides many of the trace elements that plants need to thrive. But wood ash fertilizer is best used either lightly scattered or by first being composted along with the rest of your compost.”
This makes me feel a lot better incase we disagree in the future bro

Wood ash is entirely different from human ashes. Wood ashes have a typical pH around 6.5 Human is over 9.0 and has a very high salt content. They can actually be toxic to a plant.

Who the fuck spreads human ashes this way? Some idiot thinking it’s a tribute? Besides even huge people fit in an urn a kid could carry. Not enough for diddly shit.

I know people that have put their deceased loved ones in a flower garden OUTSIDE in the ground with a couple benches around it for people to sit in. I've reminisced with others telling funny and happy stories about the departed while sitting having a drink with other friends paying tribute. Some with a tear in their eye. But mixing them in to the soil of potted plants isn't a good idea.
