Doesn't sound like they were scattered, if we're being factual about it. "The only man whose ashes are in proximity to the lunar surface" in a canister, in a probe. A long way off being buried there though.
You think the ashes are still in the canister? The probe hit the surface while traveling more than a kilometer per second. It would have to be some canister....
it we're being factual about it: "...a way to get some of Shoemaker’s remains to the Moon’s surface". But then again, the title "Almost all the remains of Eugene Shoemaker are still the first ones being almost buried on the Moon" would not sound very good.
