"Wanting our ashes scattered somewhere important to us in life implies we'll have a life awareness of it in death. I'm not saying that consciousness can't exist outside of physical form, but I think we can say with some degree of certainty that one way, or another, consciousness, awareness, likes and dislikes, won't be the same when we're dead."
I agree jac, but I think that when one has and makes special requests/wishes about after they die, it's perhaps a way for them to feel prepared to meet their 'death'. Think of the person who plans, to the last detail - what to where, who to attend, whether to be buried or burnt, and where to be laid or scattered, etc - just so that they have some control/input.
I don't know about you, but when I feel prepared, I worry less.
