Wills and burial requests
<p>Can I be held legally responsible for not burying a person as specified in their will, if there are not enough funds in the estate?</p>

<h2>An executor is not bound by the disposal requests in a will</h2>
<p>Related: <a href="https://law.stackexchange.com/q/7348/344">Who is responsible for the disposal of a body when there are no directives in the deceased&#39;s will?</a></p>
<p>If there are insufficient funds in the estate or the deceased person’s requests are not in the interests of the beneficiaries, then the executor can ignore them.</p>
<p>If a person is dead-set on particular funeral arrangements, they can contract and pay for those arrangements while they are still alive.</p>
