My lawyer is in charge of the cremation of my body, not my family.
If your want you final instructions carried out your way, do not leave it to family members who can easily pull the "Oh, but....." routine.
So plan your own funeral or memorial service with a CD before you die. I made a CD of music for my memorial service, the last tune being Willie Nelson’s “Roll Me Up And Smoke Me When I Die”. It’s a party, I’m outta here!!!
