Dropping Ashes

BE CAREFUL:
An ex student of mine asked if he could drop his friends ashes over a small field where they used to fly models. He also asked the best way to do it?
I told him to place the ashes into a plastic bag that could be torn open after his hand was out of the small air hole in the archer. He took the dead persons 12 year old son with him as that was what Bill requested. The pilot set himself up on an extended final and opened the window put the plastic bag out the window and opened it by tearing it. All going well so far. He found that he had passed the field before he released all the ashes so decided to pull the bag back in and make another pass. (DUMB) The ashes finished up all over the cockpit , the sons lap and the pilots lap as well so they were picking up handfulls of Bill and shoving them out the window for 20 minutes. For the next six months the flight plans all read 5 POB (SOB) "Not a good outcome."
