serious question about remains

Serious question no jokes guys.

My Fiancées' Father passed away. We are cleaning his home out and found remains, ashes & a urn of a girlfriend of his from the late 90's. I'm having trouble locating her family if they can't be located what should should we do with them that's not disrespectful?
 
Store it for a short while and if you cannot locate the family, just release the ash in some forest. Say some nice words. As a final resting place. 🙂
 
Update spoke to her Brothers widow. She didn't know the woman too well but she will take them if needed. Gave me the name of a daughter but that's all she knows.

Fortunately we found some hospital info that had some family names & numbers on it. All but hers were out of service.
 
Personally I'd throw it away. I don't understand people's reverence for dead things. They're dead. No need for fancy coffins and expensive vases to keep dead things in. Burn them (only because throwing dead things in the garbage is a good way to spread disease) and then dump all the ashes from all the dead things into a landfill.

Ashes: Check with funeral home, they might have some records or recommendations of what is best thing to do. It would be nice if it did go to a family member.

As for remains, what are we talking about here, like just a finger or something or something bigger? Does it look incased in any kind of way, as some kind of memorial or is it just, there? I never heard of anyone keeping actual remains though, so you might want to just pretend you never saw that and throw it out or it could turn into a police issue. Nobody aint got time for that.

Donny was a good bowler, and a good man. He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors... and bowling, and as a surfer he explored the beaches of Southern California, from La Jolla to Leo Carrillo and... up to... Pismo. He died, like so many young men of his generation, he died before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young men at Khe Sanh, at Langdok, at Hill 364. These young men gave their lives. And so would Donny. Donny, who loved bowling. And so, Theodore Donald Karabotsos, in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your final mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well. Good night, sweet prince.
