I remembered from one of my paralegal classes ( Wills, Trusts and Estate Planning ) that a will may not get read till weeks after a person's passing. There is another type of legal document that can be prepared that can provide instructions to the deceased's family for burial/funeral servcie instructions but I cannot remember what it is called.....

I also was told once that if you mail a letter to yourself and mark it "to be opened upon my death" that works too.
Seriously, y'all, aside from pins, this isn't something people of college age think about, but have SOMETHING written down somewhere. Preferably a legal, binding will. I've had mine for the past several years since I'm an only child and my dad is my next of kin. And I have to say that it gives me peace of mind to know if the worst would happen, things will be done the way I want them.
