Yeeep. Bit odd, no doubt - it's just trying to underline the part of the creed that goes "I look forward to the Resurrection of the dead."
I don't see how keeping ashes in one's home is that bad or necessarily goes against that, or even scattering ashes really. "Remember man that thou are dust, and unto dust thou shalt return."
Just some old fogies failing at what the Catholic Church has been failing at since it started, trying to make sure every believer understand every doctrine of the faith inside out.
I totally agree it is pretty silly.
