As an update on mine regarding funeral arrangements:
I would make it as clear as possible I want as much as a traditional Jewish funeral as possible:
In the ground within 24 hours, all-wood casket, etc.
Under no circumstances do I want to be cremated - I cannot see my body being burned with nothing remaining - especially since my great-grandfather went through it in the Nazi Death Camps (my great-grandmother died of sickness, and my grandmother was offered the chance to buy her ashes, but of course prisoners were not allowed to carry money). My grandmother survived 9 dath camps to emigrate to America and lead a happy and very patriotic life, to pass away peacefully in her sleep 2 years ago
