You didn't say what branch of the military in which he served. Contact someone at the base. Here is the number to the base in Ramstein -011-49-6371-47-113. good luck, Susu

Unfortunately, your husband's last wishes are not legally binding on anybody or any agency. Germany has environmental and health laws that restrict what can be done with remains, including ashes. If you desire to have your husband's ashes buried in a German cemetary, you should contact the German consulate nearest you for information on the possibility of doing that. You will find it can be quite expensive.
