If you’re unsure of the wind direction, throw a pinch of dirt or sand into the air first and watch which way it goes. The average cremated adult will produce about five pounds of pulverized bone fragments, a coarse powder that is sterile and safe to touch, even if the person died of a communicable disease. Try to scatter, not dump. “It helps to have a trowel or a spoon or ladle or something to scoop with,” Rubin says. Last year in the United States, over half of those who died were cremated. In some states, like Nevada, that number is closer to 80 percent. Often the deceased will not leave behind specific directions for where to put their ashes. If you decide to take them out into the world, choose a place the person loved. Research local, state, tribal and federal regulations. For example, the National Park Service issues permits for ash-scattering in parks like Yosemite so long as it is: done out of public view; at least 100 yards from any waterway; and no marker is left behind. On land, Rubin suggests finding a discrete and distinctive landmark, like a large boulder, that you’ll remember and can revisit. Note the location with GPS coordinates. At sea, human remains, including ashes, must be thrown at least three nautical miles from land. Rubin once surreptitiously dropped a biodegradable bag of her brother-in-law’s ashes off the side of a cruise ship crossing the Bermuda Triangle. “There are no cremation police,” she says. Still, be decent. Rubin thinks the people who drop cremains off the rides at Disneyland, causing regular ride closures, have gone too far. Start and end with some kind of ritual. Say a prayer, a poem, a remembrance. Scatter with intention. “Because people are afraid of death, they’re afraid of the ceremonies around death,” Rubin says. It’s OK if your hands get dirty. Don’t worry if the ashes fall on your shoes. Don’t fret if the wind shifts and dusts your skin in the powdery calcium phosphate of bones. “It won’t kill you,” Rubin says, “but it’ll probably make you cough.”

Pope Francis has confessed he sometimes nods off while praying, and claims saints too have been known to grab some Holy shut-eye. “When I pray, sometimes I fall asleep,” he said in an episode of a Catholic TV2000 television programme published Tuesday on YouTube. “Saint Therese did it too,” he said in reference to a 19th-century French nun, adding that Christians were called to feel like children lying in their fathers’ arms – a place conducive to napping, he implies. The 80-year-old Argentinian head of the Roman Catholic church radiates energy and enthusiasm when he meets people, but his expression turns very grave when he prays, often bowing his head and closing his eyes for long periods. The pontiff values his sleep and is tucked up in bed each night by 9pm – though he rises with the lark at 4am. His fast-paced schedule is only possible because he gets his head down for a snooze after lunch, Vatican sources say.
