Does the government do something with it? Is it just trashed?

It's illegal to "Trash" human remains, even ashes. Every County in the US has what's called a "Paupers Field" they bury it and give it a number. Sad isn't it?

The remains, or ashes, belong to the next of kin of the decedent who had died. It is the responsibility of the personal representative of the estate to make sure that the remains are delivered to that person or in the alternative are buried somewhere.

Looks like you have the answer already.
They should sprinkle ashes on a wooden raft at sea and torch it. (better than burial with a number)

I would go with the garbage thing. The Government might lose them.

They use it in dog and cat food as a filler.
