[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For instance, a person writes in their will that they want to be buried in a certain cemetery, pays the cemetery in advance for the spot and for employees to handle the body after death. Yet after the person dies their family try to override their wishes and bury the person in a different cemetery against their wishes.

Another example would be a family having a religious funeral for a staunch atheist.[/quote]

If the atheist ends up being correct in their beliefs that at that point they’re dead, gone and beyond caring so no harm done if the closest survivors are comforted by having a religious service (provided they use their own money/inheritance to pay for it and don’t divert money from other designated beneficiaries.)

In my mind it’s worse to deny someone who wanted (and left sufficient money to pay for) a religious burial.[/quote]

That makes sense. I can't imagine an atheist who was truly atheist caring at all because they believe they cease to exist at death, so would not attempt to exert their will after the body is dead.[/quote]
