Nice. My favourite idea is one that my brother had years ago; get your ashes loaded into a great big firework of the rocket variety and - kablooey - ooooh - aahhhhhh - etc.
I think Philip Pulman's stepfather was given this very send-off a while back, which was nice.

Mark Gruenwald (forgive if I have the wrong name) wrote a superb series about the Squadron Supreme for Marvel back in the '80s.
As the story was being collected he passed away, and had his ashes mixed with the inks (allegedly)

Ah, but young Max is a Cyberman from the later CyberFaction period, otherwise known as 'the sort with the wetsuits and silver Army boots' - who are invulnerable to gold, but are vulnerable to falling over (admittedly, quite slowly in order to avoid damaging the costume) when they walk into a BBC-type spark-generator superimposition and being transformed into cardboard cut-outs and sucked out of airlocks.
But he does get to say 'YOU-KNOW-OUR-WAYS.'
Or, for those listening to the unrestored audio, 'PHEW-BLOW-AWAYS'.
It was only the later CyberNomads (otherwise known as 'Mk. I Shouty-type' or 'the ones with the flares') and the later CyberNeomorphs (Mk. II Shouty-type or 'the flash ones') that were vulnerable to gold.
