A:
I'm deeply sorry for your loss. You may have legal recourse if someone disposed of your son's ashes without your consent. This situation could potentially be considered a violation of your rights and a form of property destruction.
You should contact a lawyer to discuss the specifics of your case. They can guide you on whether you can file a lawsuit for emotional distress and property damage. It's important to gather any evidence you have, such as communications or witness statements, to support your claim.
Additionally, you might want to file a police report about the incident. Documenting everything will help establish a record of what happened, which could be crucial if you decide to pursue legal action.
