burial wishes
Posthumous disposition instructions
Burial wishes are a person's stated preferences for what should happen to their body after death—cremation versus burial, location, type of service, and similar matters.
The phrase appears most often in legal and end-of-life planning contexts: Make sure your burial wishes are documented.
Unlike a will, burial wishes may not be legally binding depending on jurisdiction.
