Where a will or “'''preneed cemetery or funeral services contract'''” sets out the deceased’s wishes for burial or cremation, those wishes are binding on the person arranging the funeral. The exception is if the wishes are unreasonable or impracticable or cause hardship. If the deceased expressed a preference in another way, such as through a letter or by telling a loved one, then those wishes are not legally binding on the person arranging the funeral. | Where a will or “'''preneed cemetery or funeral services contract'''” sets out the deceased’s wishes for burial or cremation, those wishes are binding on the person arranging the funeral.
