My family want to lay my mum's ashes in a plant then as the plant grows we all take a cutting of the plant and replant it. Is it ok to mix the ashes with soil then plant the seeds?

They won't disappear into the potting soil and provide nutrients since they are bone remnants. Some of the pieces will be fairly large, perhaps 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch across and will always be visibile, which could be upsetting, I suppose.
That's a nice idea sandrajo,
I've thought about this for myself, with the notion that if the ashes are scattered benieth a favourite tree, there will always be a part of me in the tree as the roots absorb the ashes along with other nutrients.
I,ve been involved with the management of a memorial tree arbor, where the ashes are usually scattered by the relatives sometime after the tree has been planted and i have to say, I've never seen a tree harmed this way. xx
