The remains of Jasmine Fiore are still waiting to be scattered in their final resting place.
The former Playboy model will have her ashes spread in Santa Cruz and her family would like her jailed former husband Michael Cardosi to be present, RadarOnline.com can reveal exclusively.
Fiore – who was brutally murdered by Ryan Jenkins – had a funeral service attended by 200 friends at a ranch belonging to Joanna Miller the granddaughter of Walt Disney, but Cardosi was unable to attend as he was in jail.

Cardosi tragically met-up with his ex wife only a few days before she was killed by Ryan Jenkins on Friday, August 14, 2009.
A family insider told RadarOnline.com that Jasmine’s mom Lisa Lepore still has Jasmine’s ashes in an urn and she would like Cordosi to be present when they are scattered in Santa Cruz.
“This is where Jasmine grew-up and is also where Michael and her met before they got married.

“Lisa really likes Michael and would like him to be present for this final act with her daughter’s remains.
“Lisa and some of her friends are preparing a second memorial service for Jasmine in Las Vegas because she had a lot of friends there and she loved that city too.”
Cardosi – who is serving time on drugs related charges – was left broken-hearted that his former love was killed in what detectives believe could have been a jealous fit when Jenkins became enraged after he found out the pair had met.

Cardosi and Fiore were spotted kissing and cuddling on a California beach in a romantic rendezvous where she did not wear her wedding ring.
The source added: “Michael is still really having a tough time getting over Jasmine and the jail he is in is a very tough facility that was hit by prison riots recently.
“He is in lockdown 23 hours a day, so, it is not the best environment - if he could be present when Jasmine’s ashes are finally scattered then that would mean a lot to him.
