Ariana Grande’s mother wants her ashes sprinkled in illegal location

Ariana Grande just revealed that her mother Joan Grande has repeatedly requested that herself and half-brother Frankie Grande spread her cremated remains in a very illegal location.

‘My mom tells us too often that she wants her ashes sprinkled over [Cinderella’s Castle in Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, FL],’ the 31-year-old pop star said Wednesday’s Las Culturistas podcast, hosted by her Wicked co-star Bowen Yang.

‘And I’m like, “Mom, it’s Christmas. Do we have to talk about this right now?” And she’s like, “Yeah! You have to make sure that happens.” I’m like, “Mom, I don’t wanna make sure that that happens.”‘

Ariana – who’s also ‘been through’ Club 33 – revealed she once changed inside the Cinderella Castle Suite when she performed there and she thought that sprinkling ashes would wind up falling on ‘actors back there working.’

‘So you’re gonna be sprinkled on people’s heads who are like, dressed as Tinker Bell waiting for their cue,’ Grande (born Butera) noted.

These days, the 67-year-old Diamond Dog Entertainment founder appears to spent most of her time in theme parks with her 41-year-old son.

The two-time Grammy winner is right to be hesitant as spreading ashes at any Disney park is ‘strictly prohibited and unlawful’ despite it occurring ‘monthly’ since it’s not even a listed rule on their website.

‘Guests who attempt to do so will be escorted off property,’ a Disney rep told the Wall Street Journal in 2018.

Disney staff will promptly shut down the ride using the code ‘HEPA cleanup’ (or informally ‘Code Grandma’) before implementing an ultra-fine vacuum cleaner to suck up all the remains.

Disneyland mourners can expect the Anaheim Police Department to be called as California code HS 7054 is considered a misdemeanor, which can result in ‘six months in jail and a $500 fine.’

‘Not only would you be facing criminal charges,’ the Southern California Defense Blog wrote in 2018.

‘But your loved one’s ashes will end up in the trash instead of living eternally in the Haunted Mansion or Pirates of the Caribbean.’

And while The Haunted Mansion remains the most popular spot, Whoopi Goldberg managed to get away with spreading her mother Emma Harris’ ashes at the It’s a Small World attraction in Disneyland in 2010.

The 68-year-old EGOT champ cautioned on the July 11th episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers: ‘No one should do this. Don’t do it’

Whoopi – who was named a Disney Legend in 2017 – continued: ‘Periodically, I’d scoop some of her up and I’d [fake sneeze]. And I’d say, “My god, this cold is getting worse and worse!”‘

Goldberg added: ‘And then I told them I did it. I wanted to make sure, actually, that I hadn’t done something that was dangerous, because it hadn’t occurred to me. But there’s a reason they don’t want ashes just floating around’
