I think that's what people need to realize.
For example, ashes scattered in the ocean get gobbled up and pooped out by fish, sewage goes into the ocean, trash, etc.
Ashes scatted in the forest still get pooped on by animals, walked on by people, etc.
It's all a cycle. And I'm fine with it. Ash scattering and other funerary services are for the benefit of loved ones, not the deceased. It's a way for the loved ones to say good-bye and have closure.
For me, I want most of my cremains used for a kick-ass party via
Angels Flight to the tune of "I'm Gone" from Disney Afternoon's "Talespin". (Yes, I want people laughing.) And, some of me shall be given to friends to carry with them to the places I've loved and scattered/dispersed as they see fit.
