Alice dies, having expressed some sort of wish about the disposal of her body to Bob. For reasons that Alice usually wouldn't have been able to foresee, Bob finds these wishes difficult to carry out. Often, this requires Alice's body taken to a specific location for burial. This is frequently used as a way to justify giving Bob an Idiot Ball: Due to the Dead demands Honor Before Reason. Compare The "Fun" in "Funeral". Can sometimes overlap with On One Condition, and less frequently with Of Corpse He's Alive. As a Death Trope, all Spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware. |

After the X-Men adversary Destiny died, she left her leman Mystique detailed instructions on where and when she wanted her ashes scattered into the sea. Precognition + Sense of Humor = Win. "I'll make you laugh if it's the last thing I do" indeed... Specifically, Destiny had worked out the timing so that at the moment Mystique poured out the ashes, the wind would blow them back into Mystique's face. |

In at least one episode of Bones, Dr. Temperence Brennan describes her wish to undergo a sky burial to a clearly Squicked-out Booth. Played with in that the difficulty laying in Booth's clear disgust at the idea and much more traditionalist outlook on how bodies are dealt with, rather than any logistical issues like wealth or location. | |

In one episode of The Simpsons, Homer's mother dies, and she wants her ashes to be thrown at a specific place at a specific time. It turned out it was all to disrupt one of Mr. Burns' anti-environmental plans as one last middle finger to him. Ultimately getting the last laugh on Burns and their age old rivalry. | |

Smiling Friends: In "Who Violently Murdered Simon S. Salty?", Century Egg lets the Smiling Friends view his security tapes on the condition that they bury his body in his hometown, the Xiang Pine Forest in China. Charlie assures him that "Oh, yeah, we will definitely go to China to bury you, man." They do. Then Pim mentions that he's never tried a century egg before, so Charlie grabs the shovel again... | |

Invoked in the Hustle episode "The Fall of Railton FC." Needing some footage of a fake football game, Emma pretends that her grandfather's last wish was to have his ashes scattered on the turf of his beloved football club, and cons the caretaker into letting her and the rest of the crew on to the pitch to do so. She then has to keep the caretaker distracted while the boys run around the pitch in football strip to get the footage they need. | |

Del Close, the great improv comedy actor/teacher, wanted his skull to go to the Goodman Theatre in Chicago so that he could play Yorick (or any spooky-scene-setting Cow Tools) into eternity. On his deathbed he made a friend promise to make it happen, but he didn't put anything in writing, and in the end she had to substitute one she'd bought from an anatomical supply company. His real skull was cremated along with the rest of him. | |

Phantasy Star IV: One easily missable conversation with the gravekeeper in Aiedo's cemetery has him chide Alys about finally buying a plot for herself, presumably because she's top earner in the most dangerous profession in the city. Alys scoffs at this, and tells him she'd rather be buried somewhere peaceful. It turns out that this "somewhere peaceful" thing is the town of Krup, where Alys later dies via Zio's Dark Force magic and is buried beneath a field of flowers. | |

In Wonder Woman Vol 2, when Diana's one time publicist Myndi Mayer's video will is played, she includes a large sum of money for Diana as an incentive to have her cremation ashes spread around the Amazons' Themyscira so she can be a part of that place. Diana's only complaint is that she was upset that Minda felt she was so shallow that she needed to be paid to do something she would have immediately done for nothing. Regardless, Diana immediately gets back to the island to fulfill Mayner's wishes. | |

King of the Hill: Cotton's will demands that his ashes be flushed down a specific toilet on a specific diner, apparently because General Patton used it once. Hank has to get around the diner owner, who's fed up with soldiers having the same request. Apparently ashes are bad for the plumbing. One of Cotton's dying requests was actually for Hank to cut off his corpse's head and mail it the Emperor of Japan. When Cotton finally passes, Hank is distraught at the prospect but hesitant to deny his father's final wishes. Fortunately, Peggy lies and convinces him that Cotton took back the thing about his head right before the end when she was alone with him. |

X-Statix, being a series where Anyone Can Die, naturally had a few cases of this: When St. Anna dies, she makes Guy promise to travel to Argentina so that he can give her father a ring belonging to her mother. He follows through and delivers the ring. As Anna also had some degree of Body Surf powers, she is able to briefly possess her grieving father, showing him her whole life. When Edie is killed during a mission in space, she asks that Guy dispose of her body in space because she fears that if they bury her, her gravesite will be turned into a tourist attraction. |

In V for Vendetta, the dying V tells Evey, "The Victoria line is blocked... twixt Whitehall and St. James... Give me a Viking funeral..." Eventually, Evey recalls the ornately-decorated subway train in which he'd had her place gelignite. She checks the London Underground map and finds that there's indeed rubble blocking the line there. She places his body in a glass coffin within the explosive-filled train and sends it speeding toward the blockage, which is right under Downing Street, site of the Fate computer through which the Norsefire regime had run the country. V's "Viking funeral" is thus the capstone to his dismantling of the fascist government. | |

The story of Far Cry 4 begins thanks to Ishwari Ghale, an immigrant from the wartorn country of Kyrat, asking her son Ajay to "take [her] back to Lakshmana" after her death. If she'd thought to tell Ajay that Lakshmana was his long-dead half-sister by the dictatorial King of Kyrat, things would have gone a lot more smoothly. | |

Old Man Henderson: Inverted. Henderson suggested that two garbage bags and a trip to the landfill would be more than enough, since no-one had cared about him in life, no-one would care about his death, and a slab of dead meat wasn't worth wasting money on. Henderson's two surviving allies ignored this, and gave him a nice funeral, with a coffin, a nice floral arrangement and a rather touching eulogy. Even though they were the only two people to attend (plus the priest hired to conduct the service), Henderson's player was still quite touched by the gesture. | |

Bit of a plot point in Count Yorga in which Donna's mother had actually requested to be cremated in the event of death. However oddly enough she was buried and rather hastily according to Donna at Yorga's request. It soon becomes obvious when it's revealed that Yorga is a vampire. He had stolen away her body not long after the funeral and brought her to his manor so she could become his second vampire bride. | |

The Treasure of Alpheus Winterborn: Willis Nightwood's will in the sequel The Lamp From the Warlock's Tomb involved a set of bizarre instructions for his burial: his body was cremated, and his ashes placed in a can that was sewn up into the belly of a scarecrow that was then taken to an underground tomb on his estate. The scarecrow was placed in a chair at a table marked with a pentagram and where an iron bell, a Dutch china lamp that had been his bedside table lamp for years, and a family bible had all been placed. Certain rites were carried out once the scarecrow was in place, then the tomb's entrance was sealed with earth, boulders and three feet of concrete, and a plaque with the words "It takes jacks to open" (believed to be a reference to his poker-playing days) was affixed to the concrete once it was dry. It turns out all this was in order to prevent the evil spirit that had possessed him (and was now linked to the lamp) from getting loose after his death. | |

Towards the end of The Dragon Knight, Sir Giles dies and requests that he be buried at sea (Because as a selkie, he can come back from the dead if this happens). Unfortunately, before any effort can be made to do this, the nobles in command of the armies whose fighting caused his death agreed that to seal the truce, everyone who died on that battlefield must be buried in a communal grave. | |

There's James Doohan, Scotty from Star Trek, who requested his ashes be sent into space. It took them 2 years to take his remains up even on a temporary trip. On the rocket that was going to bring his ashes (with several others) into space, the launch was halted at T-0.5 seconds because the rockets were malfunctioning. It launched properly a few days later. Somehow, a malfunctioning spacecraft seems more appropriate for the man behind Scotty than one where everything goes smoothly. | |

In Regular Show after Muscle Man's dad dies, he states in his will that he would like his ashes to be scattered in the trucker graveyard, largely as the "ultimate prank" revenge against them for mocking him for just being a forklift driver in life. It takes some doing as the place is heavily guarded and they have to contend against both other truckers and the ghosts that haunt the place, but Muscle Man, with Mordecai and Rigby's help, succeeds in the end. | |

Tormund encourages Jon to give Ygritte a proper burial in the "real North", which Jon honours by burning the body beneath a weirwood beyond the Wall. |

Frequently used on Six Feet Under. Season 4 starts with Nate fooling his dead wife's parents so that he can steal her body and bury it in nature, as per her wishes. Or the gay set-designer who wanted to turn the funeral parlour into the set of his dead lover's favorite opera, therefore paying three times the usual fare. Ah, the crazy shit people do out of love. |

God of War (PS4): When Faye died, she asked her husband Kratos and son Atreus to scatter her ashes on the peak of the highest mountain in the nine realms. Their quest to reach this mountain makes up most of the game. Kratos and Atreus assume she was talking about a certain mountain in their realm, but eventually figure out she was talking about the highest mountain in Jötunheim, her homeland. They succeed. | |

Dunk has no idea where Pennytree is and Ser Arlan has no known next of kin to turn to. So he buries him on a hillside facing west, as Ser Arlan had always liked watching the sunset. | |

Revelation Space Series; Before the beginning of Redemption Ark, Antoinette Bax's father had said he wanted to have his ashes scattered in the atmosphere of a gas giant. At the time that he dies, all the gas giants in the system where she lives are in the middle of a war zone. This doesn't stop her from personally dropping his body off in the atmosphere of a gas giant while it's still in the contested volume. Later, in "Galactic North", a character requests "burial at C"—that is, to accelerate the ship as close to the speed of light as it will reasonably go, then fire her coffin ahead of it. She notes that it's only a pun in a language almost no one remembers. |

In Red Dead Redemption 2, in an easily missable conversation Arthur states that he wants to be buried facing west, "so [he] can watch the setting sun and remember all the fine times [they] had that way." While he dies facing, and watching, the rising sun (High Honor), Charles finds his body and buries him facing West, towards the setting sun. In the same conversation, Hosea says that he wants to be buried "with friends", and Lenny says the same thing before adding "with friends... or with family". Little do they know that they would later get killed and eventually be buried next to each other, as both friends and family. |

In the Book of Genesis, Joseph makes the Israelites swear that they would take his body with them when they left Egypt. He was eventually reburied in Israel, meaning that they must have carried his coffin through the desert for forty years. This causes complications along the way, because the people carrying his coffin are therefore ritually impure and can't offer the Passover sacrifice. A "make-up" date for the sacrifice one month later is instituted due to this and other reasons, which means that complications as a result of a will are Older Than Feudalism. | |

The Firefly episode "The Message" looks as though it's going to be of this form, until the corpse in question wakes up... And in the end, they double-subvert it after shooting him a few times because he spends most of his time holding Kaylee hostage and shooting a gun at people and generally not listening. He does get his body taken home to his family like he wanted, though. | |

The second is to ensure his friend's body is buried in a specific area. The latter leads to him finding that the body of the man they hit is no longer where they left him, and that Tony may not actually be dead. | |

Martian Successor Nadesico has fun with this trope in an early episode. Employees of Nergal who die on the job are entitled to whatever peculiar funeral they want. When a company space station explodes a few episodes in, the only official nearby to perform all the funerals is the captain of the namesake ship. After the mass funerals for Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist, and shooting-star-teddy-bear religion employees, there are still hundreds of unique funerals to perform. | |

In the Only Fools and Horses episode "Ashes to Ashes," Del Boy and Rodney spend the entire episode trying to find an appropriate way to dispose of the ashes of Trigger's grandfather (so they can flog off the urn he is in). After all of their attempts are thwarted, the ashes are accidentally sucked up by a road sweeper. They decide this is appropriate as Trigger's grandfather had been a street sweeper. In the Prequel, Rock and Chips, Freddie the Frog tells Joan about a friend of his whose dying wish was to be scattered on his favorite football pitch, and how this got them in trouble with the authorities. |
