Quite aside from the legal problems, your survivors would have a lot of emotional issues to work through. What if your widow/er has remarried in the meantime? ---

Since I plan to be cremated, reconstituting my body will be the first obstacle. 😃 ---

John 11, verse 38: Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb of Lazarus. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. “Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.” Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.” When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” And the dead man did come out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. And Lazarus did look upon his sister Martha and said, “Are those my sandals upon thy feet?” And Martha was silent.
