Funeral arrangements can be agreed upon. Typically, the responsibility for the deceased's funeral arrangements lies with the surviving spouse, a person who lived continuously with the deceased in marital-like conditions at the time of death, or the closest heirs of the deceased.

Disagreements can sometimes arise among those responsible for funeral arrangements regarding the method, location, or conduct of the burial. Primarily, the wishes and beliefs of the deceased person should be respected in the funeral proceedings. Reaching a compromise is always the preferred method of resolving disagreements among the individuals mentioned above. Ultimately, disputes concerning funeral arrangements can be resolved through a lawsuit in a district court, where the court can provide a resolution.

We are available to assist heirs of the deceased or other close individuals in matters related to funeral arrangement disputes if needed.
