My heartfelt sympathies to you and to your family.
My daughter and I had a recent conversation about this very topic. She feels no connection to the place where we now live or to her birthplace or to mine. So I know that, after I am gone, she will not probably come back to visit my grave wherever it would be. Considering that I am claustrophobic even the thought of a box in the ground gives me the willies so I am opting for cremation. We have the ashes of a dear darling dog who died several years ago and was cremated. It might sound weird but I've asked my daughter to mix his ashes with mine and spread them somewhere that I enjoyed and that she will visit over her lifetime - preferably some mountains.
I always liked the scene in "Chocolat" where the ashes of the lead character's mother just blew away on the wind. That's what I want - in the mountains.

Both my mother and father were cremated and buried next to each other in a cemetary. This is not what my father has wished... he wished to have his ashes scattered over the Columbia Gorge area where we lived. But, we were overruled by a dominating Aunt and Uncle (Father's brother) who wanted a place to visit to grieve. I guess in the end, it really doesn't matter.

A close friend of mine had her husband's ashes put into a glass baseball bat which she keeps on a mantle. He was a semi-pro baseball player in his 20's.
She wanted to feel that he was still close.

I probably would have discretely taken some of the ashes and spread them where your father wanted them. It would have given me peace of mind to please both of them. But that's just me.
