I have a bit of experience. Perhaps others have more.

This is not terribly pretty, and perhaps a even a bit tacky, but it worked
for us...

Get some 3" abs or pvc drain pipe, about 3 - 3 1/2 ' long.
Attach a cap to one end, and a cleanout fitting to the other.

The cleanout fitting unscrews, which allows you to pour the ashes into the
pipe. Of course, screw the fitting back on once done, but not too tight.

When over the site, open the window, and with the cleanout fitting end as
far out as you can, hold onto the pipe with one hand while unscrewing the
fitting with the other. Keep the open end aft of the open window and as far
down as you can comfortably reach. Don't drop the pipe!

Oh, perhaps you want to paint things on the pipe.

I have a co-worker who's father just passed away. He'd like his ashes
scattered over his home town. I've read a few horror stories in
flying magazine. Does anyone have any experience with this? I have a
Mooney and am a little concerned about stuff getting blown back in, or
all over the wings. Is a high-wing the best way to go? I've also
heard that a tube and funnel thingy might be prudent.

Thankx
