I can definitely see buying your own crypt box at the cemetery of your choice in advance. (I did). Now all that family has to do is get the cremation done and everything else is in place...
I agree with making your wishes known in advance and providing an inheritance to pay for it. That can be specified in your will. But, I don't agree with paying for it in advance. Things change, companies go out of business, people move, and how can you be sure that the people who will handle the funeral will even remember that it is already paid for?
