Disposition of Last Remains
Meurer & Potter Law Office, Denver, Colorado
After your passing, family and loved ones are often left in distress and unsure of your preferences. With the help of the Meurer & Potter Law Office and a Disposition of Last Remains document, you can relieve this burden while ensuring your wishes are officially known and carried out as you intended.
A Disposition of Last Remains provides clear, specific guidance as to what you prefer regarding organ donation, as well as burial, cremation, or even donating your body to science. It will also communicate instructions regarding your ceremonial preferences and notify memorial and funeral service directors who you’ve chosen to be in charge of your arrangements.
Our attorneys at the Meurer & Potter Law Office have witnessed how effective the Disposition of Last Remains document can be at relieving significant stress and confusion, as well as helping avoid disputes amongst loved ones during their time of distress. It’s truly a gift you can give your family, and we’ll help put together a document that helps them maintain unity upon your passing.
To further protect your rights, the legislature even passed the Colorado Disposition of Last Remains Act (C.R.S. section 15-19-101 through -108) to prevent an interested party from interfering with preferences stated in your Disposition of Last Remains. It authorizes you to provide advanced written instructions, binding all parties to follow directions regarding whom you put in charge of arrangements, as well as your burial, cremation, entombment, funeral arrangements, and memorial service.
If funeral arrangement choices are currently addressed in your will or a power of attorney document, your Disposition of Last Remains will revoke all prior statements. By working with an attorney at the Meurer & Potter Law Office in Denver, your disposition document will be prepared in accordance with Colorado law, and all other legal paperwork related to these matters can be updated accordingly.
