Disposal of Ashes. Ashes should be placed in a metal

container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of

ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or

on the ground, well away from all combustible materials,

pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by

burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should

be retained in the closed container until all cinders have

thoroughly cooled.
