Re: Death
Evidently he did not have a will directing where he wanted to be buried.
The law provides for the right and power to make decisions about funeral arrangements in MCL 700.3206 in the surviving spouse. Furthermore, it is not necessarily true that a man will want to be married to the wife of 26 years, when he remarried and was married to a new wife for 6 years. Only they know the love they shared which is not necessarily less because they have been married for less time.
