Well, I'm not Catholic, so would they still ash me? I went to a Catholic service once, and the priest said I couldn't partake of the Lord's supper. He said all he could do was bless me.

You can certainly receive ashes.
And you just might enjoy the service.

There is a distinction between receiving the body of Christ (the Eucharist) and having ashes placed on the forehead. Down here in the country even non-Catholics occasionally come for what the call their Baptist ashes.
IOW, yes, you can have ashes.
