Details

Disputes over control of a body or ashes, and the arrangements for funerals or headstones/memorials are not encountered on a daily basis in practice, but when they do appear, it is usually at the 11th hour, with clients needing advice at very short notice due to imminent burials or cremations.

This practical guide aims to provide the busy practitioner with the knowledge required to provide advice so that the necessary steps can be taken quickly. The book covers the issues of who has the right to call for possession of the body, who can decide as to where bodies should be buried, ashes scatter or interred, and who has the final say over gravestones or memorials.
