Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Arizona

My husbands family (2 children and his siblings) has asked for a TRO, injunction, and trial by jury to stop me from burying my husband here in Arizona. They wish for him to be buried elsewhere and are claiming that for many years my husband told them he wanted to be buried elsewhere. Please advise.

You should consult with an attorney immediately, as it seems from your statement that you have been served with a law suit, and you must answer the complaint on a timely basis. You don't say if your husband left a Will or if he made any provisions during his lifetime to provide instructions or arrangements for his funeral or burial. Research must be done to determine if you, as the surviving spouse, have the right to determine where he is buried.
