How Did Whoopi Goldberg Spread Her Mother’s Ashes?

She also confessed of spreading the ashes in the same method near the “flowers where it says Disneyland.” However, she could not keep it a secret for too long and told the officials there.
“I wanted to make sure, actually, that I hadn’t done something that was dangerous ’cause it hadn’t occurred to me. But there’s a reason they don’t want ashes just floatin’ around,” she said. Disneyland had always been an important part of Goldberg’s life, childhood and career. Whoopi Goldberg was also inducted as a Disney legend in 2017.
