Absent written instructions otherwise, a spouse has this authority: RCW
68.50.160 <http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=68.50.160> 


That said, if the funeral home is being given conflicting instructions, they
may need to get proof of marriage or similar.

Listmates,

 

This a new one for me.   H dies and Neptune Society pics up the body and
cremation is done.  H's son, from a prior marriage, asserts the right to
deal with his father's ashes.  W disagrees.  Its her spouse.  Has anyone
ever dealt with this?
