If there is no Will the wife has the last word.

The wife gets to decide. She is next of kin.

This is why it is so important for people to make wills and living wills, so the person this is about has the say in how they are to be handled after death.

Its the wife, but she would probably lose more in the end by not going along with the parents if there are children involved. This is not just a I win situation.

I don't want to "win" but I think its wrong to bury someone.(those are my beliefs and I respect others. ) but when you are lower middle class family and the possibilities of moving far away are great and that land should not be used for one person forever, but by many indefinitly.

I respect your "I think its wrong to bury someone" your reason for the land to not be used for one person forever will not fly. First that is the entire purpose of cemeteries, second in some, National Cemeteries they can an do bury 3 deep, A Veteran, wife and disabled child are eligible. Third, It has been my experience after 80 years of life, lower middle class family do the least moving of almost any other class of people except the destitute.

I am not arguing with you....of course ,do what you please. I was just just telling you that your justification may be a little off.

The wife who, by definition, is the cloest relative.

It is the wife's decision. If it has to do with money, tell them you can't afford the burial and perhaps they might make up the difference.

You can show a person and later do cremation. Cremation funerals to me are less sad. I think the parents want to see him one last time.

It was more common to show a person a long time ago. No one should win....it should be a win/win situation if possible.

Wife wins out unless the parents can show legal proff of seperation.

The wife gets the last word about it,I agree with all the posters.

" "the man is married and has affair with a woman the man and wife dies and the other woman has to raise the children.

Will cremation keep you from going to where ever you are going after death.

The man is married and has affair with a woman the man and wife dies and the other woman has to raise the children.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
