Abstract

IN your excellent article on the above subject (p. 219), it is stated that a provision contained in the will of a testator directing the cremation of his remains has no legal effect. This is no doubt correct, for, although the law permits a man to dispose of his property by will, it does not permit him to dispose of his own corpse.
