Try a crematorium. They do not put all the ash into the caskets.
Some people have no relatives and do not leave any instructions as to what
should be done with the ashes after cremation.
Some caskets of ash are just hanging around in Funeral Directors offices,
with not final resting place in sight. So ask and see what happens.

I had one casket in my office for several years, until the husband of the
deceased lady decided just where to scatter it. I could have easily
persuaded him to let me use the ashes in glazes and just do some ware from
them as a remembrance.
