From: In the boot of my car!
Many years ago my instructor dropped dead with a heart attack and requested his ashes be scattered over the runway which the club happily complied with.

I was on approach to the same runway and as he was being scattered from a slow 150 which would fly up the runway I caught up too quickly to land below the going around aircraft.

I was then met with a faceful of my departed instructor as my aircraft was immersed in a cloud of his ashes.
He was my IMCR instructor and suspect he was giving me a last lesson in cloud flying

Oh well he got the last laugh and btw this is true
