Absolutely no strawman. And your response, especially the last sentence, is a good argument for showing lennylen makes a valid point.
Are you seriously thinking it is OK to scatter bodyparts of a deceased love-one in your own garden? Let's say on main street?
Rules are there not just to take away people's liberty but mainly to keep things a bit nice, friendly and civilized.
And indeed a promise from one old person to the other is not the highest law.
