These are the sole undertakers doing it in Ireland

Have made it clear I want to be cremated with no public viewing in a funeral home or church involvement but don't know if the family will do it if anything happens.
Had an Aunt who left similar instructions but the family went the whole hog on her funeral, went totally against her wishes.
Very wrong of your family not to comply with your aunt’s preferences regarding her funeral.
I am confident it will not be an issue in my case, but for those who are not confident, how does one ensure a funeral is as they want it ?
I have completed the 'body to science' process with the college of surgeons.
How would you know if it wasn't ?
AFAIK the next of kin has got the deciding power in how a body is disposed of. The deceased's wishes have got no basis in law, even if explicitly documented (eg. donor card).I am confident it will not be an issue in my case, but for those like you who are not confident, how can one ensure their funeral is as they want it, rather than how their family might want it ?
