re: Dead bodies in space

If they ever do launch these ashes into deep space as they claim, I wonder if they have any plans or idea where they will send them?

If they do end up on a celestial body, will this cause problems for future exobiology searches?

Just because space is big doesn't give us the right to just dump anything anywhere we like. Yeah, I know, spent nuclear reactors in high Earth orbit and the like - I'm just asking the human race to show a little respect for something way bigger and far more powerful than its collective self.
