Giving that an old style funeral and burial can easily cost 5 figures... The cremation is understandable.
I also note that I do not believe that Donald Trump would have paid anything for more than that for anyone who he had even the most minor disagreement with (I'm not even sure he would pay for the cremation as it appears to me that he works to destroy anyone who disagrees with him). So I can at least see some poetic justice in the concept that his final affairs are dealt with as per the beliefs and actions of whom he supported.
You are the executor and that gives you some rights. In my case I followed my parents wishes and was able to get enough funding from family members to pay for a grave and a small headstone to bury both sets of ashes in the same grave.
I would ask you to reconsider on his ashes.
I suggest that you contact other family members and ask them if they would like to spread the ashes somewhere... I'm guessing that you fill find people interested in that...
Funerals and burials are about other people's memories and feelings - not just your own.
Others in the family will appreciate you more if you give them a chance to spread the ashes... Please do it for them.
IIN that I denied my Trump-supporting father a proper burial
