[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 deceased stipulated their burial or will issues AND pre-funded and arranged them, they should be honored.

If the deceased stipulated their burial wishes and dumped the costs, calls, arrangements, etc on survives, then cremation it is.

I say this as someone’s whose one in law  wants a burial plot in Turkey, yet lives here in the States and made zero arrangements, plans or funding of it.  Just his romantics vision of the homeland he left 45 years ago. Meanwhile his American wife chose cremation. No plans to be buried together or ashes spread various meaningful places.

Unless one of the sons tells him to plan and fund his romantic, fancy, dead parent-pleasing, $30,000 body prep, body flight, land plot, funeral homes on both sides fees burial in Ankara himself, it won’t be happening. [/quote]
