Final Disposition Instructions document your wishes about what happens to your body after death: burial or cremation, the type of service, where you want to be laid to rest, and any other preferences that matter to you. Arizona statutes give weight to a written designation, which spares your family from guessing or disagreeing in the hours after a loss.

We draft these instructions in plain language and store them with your estate plan so they are available immediately when needed. We also discuss naming a designated agent who has the legal authority to carry your wishes out.

Many clients find this document quietly meaningful. It is a small act of consideration that lifts a real burden from grieving family members.

Nicole includes this document in our standard packages because it costs little and matters a great deal at the moment it is read.
