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.....

Funeral directives or something similar. The will certainly could be read as soon as (or before) someone dies -- it just takes time to probate, or execute the terms of, the will.
