Has anyone dealt with this question? For context, I’m American, my wife is Japanese. We live in Japan. I’m also quite sure she is not planning to kill me. Lol. I’d love to hear opinions/ideas on the topic.

    Just one factor to consider: planning this in advance is important, REGARDLESS of whether you have strong feelings on the subject. The reason is to be considerate to your loved ones after your passing.

    I’m like you: I never thought about it. And when I did think about it, I discovered that I really didn’t care. But that’s not the end of the discussion. I DO care about my wife and our kids. And they’re the ones who will have to deal with it, most likely. And, since I care about them very much, I’ve made all the arrangements.

    Now, of course, if the means of interment IS important to you, then you’ve got double the motivation to plan ahead for it. In any case, though, be thoughtful and considerate toward those who will have to deal with it.
