We have the autonomy to make decisions while living, so after it regarding our bodily integrity through a will. Growing up in a democratic country, perhaps the reason fundamental rights are imperative for us. Our constitution has expanded its horizons by granting rights to the posthumous bodily integrity of every life.  Since 1989 Parmanand Katara v. Union of India & Ors, Right of decent burial is included to live with dignity u/art.21 and till today apex court has pronounced the same in many.
