More details to this question:
My mother died one year ago in Illinois. My step father had my mother cremated but she had told her children that she wanted to be buried. Now that she is cremated we want her remains to be put into an urn. He hasn't done anything but kept her in the cardboard box from the crematorium.

A skilled decedent's estates attorney would need to discuss this matter with you in greater detail, & ask you many questions, in order to give you the complete, proper legal advice you need (& a quote to represent you). Schedule a consultation ASAP. Once the matter has been resolved to your satisfaction, you'll be glad you paid the money to hire an experienced attorney & properly protect your (& your mother's) legal rights.
