Silent Hill Downpour Walkthrough Part 41: Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust

After defeating the Bogeyman at the lake, getting the boat keys, and escaping St. Maria's Monastery, you now find yourself outside again, in the border of Chastain Heights and the Pleasant River district. Head north on Rice St. Near the intersection of Rice and Brite St, there is a parked van. Search it to retrieve a shotgun, and a painting needed for the side quest "The Art Collector", then keep going northeast and through the underpass.

2: Quest End, Bench

As Rice Streets curves right, locate a two story building on the north side of the street, just before the docks area. Enter this building through the front door. Search the first floor, and on one of the tables you find a photo, taken somewhere in the docks. Murphy says that it Looks like this was a special place to somebody.

There is also a placard on the wall: "Silent Hill Senior Bowling League. First place award presented to Patrick Wearden"

Keep exploring the house. Go up to the 2nd floor. Open the door to enter the master bedroom. There is a note on the bed:

Ashes to Ashes
Too sad. Someone should scatter their ashes at their favorite spot. But where...?

Exit the house, and go to the east and around the building onto the docks (see map at the beginning of this guide). Keep going north and locate a bench. Open your inventory, and scatter the ashes on the bench.

You get the following trophy/achievement:
