MIL’s Ashes in Garage for 8 Years

While preparing to move house January 2019, I cleared out our garage and came on a carrier bag with plastic container inside. To my horror it was my MIL’s ashes, she died 2012.
I spoke to DH and he said he would sort it out.
Here we are, new home, different city, and ashes are with us in the garage. I’ve again asked DH to deal with this, but he does nothing.
MIL was not a nice or good person, that aside I really am not comfortable with any of this, but not sure what to do. It’s his mother, not mine. Help!

My Dad sat for many years on the bar at DM’s house.
Scattered at sea with his younger DB when he died.
Interesting conversation with Uncle before he passed away.
DU “ scatter me anywhere “
Me “ Dad is still on the bar at DM’s, do you want to be scattered with him?”
DU “ where are you going to scatter him?”
Me “ town in York Peninsula “
DU” bit cold there”
Me “ will it make a difference, you are going to be fish food?”
DU cracked up laughing
Last conversation we had. I miss the old bugger.
Your DH may just not be ready yet.
Leave it for now and talk again closer to Christmas.
