You can make pre-arrangements with the crematory to decide who would have legal authority over your remains.

They have a form you can complete to name who you want.

I understand this is a sensitive matter for you. Have you already made arrangements for your cremains to be disposed of in a specific way?

No. Not yet.

Lexi

Lexi, Chatbot

Are you looking for legal advice on how to ensure your wishes are carried out regarding the disposal of your cremains?

Yes. I just don’t want them to go to her. She will inherit everything else.

Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your cremains disposal.

Yes

Please let me know if you have any additional information or clarifications before I answer your question.

Thank you!

The context is that she has cut off contact with me. I don’t mind her inheriting, but I don’t want her in charge of my remains. It’s an emotional thing.
