Asking Eric: I'm keeping my burial plan a secret, even from my wife
Briefly

You have the right to create a burial plan that honors your relationship with your spouse. Despite your children's disapproval and a conflictual relationship, their wishes shouldn't dictate your choices. Communication about final wishes is typically encouraged, but in complicated family dynamics, it may not be necessary. You should consider making plans for the burial plot sooner rather than later, as availability may be limited. Ultimately, the decision should reflect your values and desires, not solely those of your children.
You have every right to make a burial plan that suits your life and your love. This might be controversial; you don't have to tell your kids.
It's better to communicate about final wishes and plans for one's end-of-life in advance. This helps intentions to be understood while you're still around.
