FUNNY but interesting question - I don't see why not. But you have such a small volume that I doubt you would create your own formation - ha ha

First let see the chemical composition of your ashes : mainly potassium and sodium carbonate and calcium phosphate from the bone. Depending on pH, pressure and temperature, a part will dissolve in the water. The rest will ultimatly become a part of a sedimentary rock.

Yes, but personally I would choose a glacial marine deposit. They are some of the most long lived sed rocks in the record.

Possible, but don't expect us to recognise you as a fossil (Yeahwasittoyou humanensis). It will be too fine to recognise even as a microfossil.
