I have both of their ashes & I'd like to have them buried in my family cemetary plot, which is about 150 miles away from him. I am not sure what my options are; do me & my ex have to agree on a cemetary or can I place the ashes in my family plot & tell my ex where they are; should I offer my ex half of the ashes? I plan on having a small family memorial service without my ex. I thought once I placed my sons' ashes & have the memorial service then, he can have his own memorial service (If he wishes). Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thank you.
I am so sorry about your sons.

I have to agree with Debi. I would at least make the offer to him and he can accept or not.

Legally, I don't think there would be any issues because both boys were adults. Unless your ex had some sort of written agreement with one or both regarding this but it doesn't sound like he does.

I wish you all the best.
