The way the Schlinders have treated Michael, and the names he has been labeled with, i.e. murderer...I don't blame him for keeping her ashes from them. Nothing he does will ever redeem himself in their eyes. Why bother?
Or maybe he's doing them all a big favor. They'd only make a shrine out of her marker. Not healthy.

Mike's a big, tough guy. He can take it.
You know this thing about her ashes is the same thing they've (Schindler's) done through out this whole case. Make an accusation and keep it up even though it's either been explained or refutiated. Michael still has the ashes. He has not decided what to do with them. He said when he does, he'll let them know. But that's not got enough, because nothing will ever be good enough for them. I don't blame him either. After all the things they've accused him of I'd only do what absolutely forced on my to do (courts).
