Of course the ruins are haunted and full of undead...and I pity the party that can't complete the mission. The ghost of the dead noble won't be happy.
Hey Boothbey, I like that idea but in fleshing it out I got another...
Make the ashes haunted. The ashes are in a very valuable urn, and so it just keeps getting sold and stolen and given away. Eventually it makes its way to some abandoned cemetary where the ghost wont bug anyone. The heroes go and explore the haunted cemetary and find the urn, then they eventually find out that the cemetary was not haunted but rather the urn. The ghost of a necromancer or cleric haunts the urn. He/she/it keeps raising dead wherever the heroes go. Eventually one the heros figureit out they can talk to the ghost and find out what he wants done, which is to have his ashes scattered from some tower somewhere.
