Is it considered good form to leave instructions to the people left behind as to what they should do with your body belongings etc? I hate the idea of imposing stuff on my family who will probably not be having a great time, and I have no particular attachment to whatever happens (aside from organ donation, which I will not budge on)...but on the other hand, if they are confused or paralyzed emotionally afterwards would leaving a guide be helpful and phrasing it as more of a guide than a set of hard and fast times wishes be best for them so they don't have to debate or think too much?
Basically I realize I won't be in a position to really care, but I want to do what's best for my few family members who will have to deal with what comes after, and I don't want them to think they need to do something one way or the other (for example, the stigma is immense, and they shouldn't feel pressured to have a public memorial or anything unless THEY want to)...what are some thoughts on this?
