Hi, hey, hello-
I used to work in Funeral.
If you& #39;re trans, or perhaps estranged from family, and have concerns about legal matters at medical incidents or your passing, reach out and I can answer questions! I can track down my infographic in a lil bit here.

Keep in mind, my knowledge strictly pertains to Oregon.
Headstones, gravemarkers, etc., don& #39;t have restrictions on what is placed on them. Whoever pays and signs, decides what goes. Clearer terms: your next of kin can dead name you whether you legally changed your name or not.

This is why it& #39;s VITAL to select a representative upon your death IN ADVANCE. There is a super simple form that requires some signatures available online. I& #39;ll add more on that, later. Second to this, your rep NEEDS to have $ for your arrangements. Funeral services here (CONT)
are capitalist by all rights. Whoever pays the bill has most of the control on final say. "SOMEONE has to pay" mentality by the state and sales reps. There are means for "indigent disposal of remains" (financial assiatance), and I can go into that, later, as well. (Cont)
Setting up a modest cremation payment plan in advance can near-guarantee unsupportive family doesn& #39;t wrestle away control from your trusted rep. Companies have vested interest in profiting off of this, though. They have SALESPEOPLE coached on how to upsell you. Don& #39;t be afraid
to tell that "sweet and compassionate," "Service Counselor," "Family Service Member" you& #39;ll call them back after doing your research. It is in their playbook to be ready and waiting patiently when you return. Which they expect, cause this is a HARD topic.
ANOTHER hard topic is what happens to us in a serious accident. There are forms drafted by the state to assign someone your advanced medical control. "Advanced Medical Directive", if you will. It is extensive, and requires notarization. It is okay if you need help.
The final most vital piece, is having a will. Luckily, Oregon makes this fairly simple. There& #39;s a joke you can notarize a napkin and it will stand. Indicate in your will who your representative upon death should be. As well as who should control your remaining funds- those will
assure what money you might have left can help your loved ones, not just Next of Kin.
NOTE: Insurance policies are controlled by the issuing company and the person receiving payment upon death must be handled / adressed with them.

Again, please reach out if you need help with any of these things and I will do my best. I& #39;m currently searching old work documents to try and find the infographic I made to make this info easier for some to digest, or easier to reference.
Consider all of this my penance for having worked in the industry. I tried to do the whole, "stick up for the little guy," "fight for representation" person, but that doesn& #39;t make up for it. Pretty sure I got fired for being NB and unwilling to consistently wear makeup, anywayshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Auf den Kopf gestelltes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Auf den Kopf gestelltes Gesicht">
