My fiancé died yesterday. I have to call the funeral home today so they can receive him. I think he would want a public viewing for all his friends and family to come and to be cremated after. He was 25, we never planned a funeral. Who plans a funeral at 25? I don’t think his parents will try to fight me on what I think he would want, do I have any legal standing since we weren’t married? They lost custody of him as a kid and have barely had contact with him in the 8 and a half years we were together. We also have a 2 year old and a 6 week old, do the become next of kin in this situation? Any advice is appreciated, I don’t know what to do.
