== Wishes for funeral services, burial, or cremation == | |||
Most wills don’t cover details relating to the funeral service, burial, or cremation. Some do. You should discuss your preferences with your executor or family. Be aware that any wishes you express about your desired '''funeral or memorial service''' will not be binding on the executor, even if expressed in your will. | |||
If you write your preference for '''burial or cremation''' in your will, that preference is binding on the executor — except if following it would be unreasonable, impracticable, or cause hardship. The same applies if you set out your preference in a contract for cemetery or funeral services. If you express your preference in another way, such as through a letter or simply telling a loved one, then that preference is ''not'' legally binding. | |||
