DNR and LIVING WILL

Do you all have your DNR and Living Will done? I have the DNR but I'm struggling with the Living Will and the doctor is wanting me to get this done. I have a friend who has offered to be the 1st name on the Living Will, but if I put her and not my husband all hell will break loose. I know it should be his name but I not sure he will or can follow my orders. Looking for advice on what to do.

I have both of mine done the DNR and living will. I do not think you and your friend have to tell him about it. Then after it he can not get mad any more. Well he can but you will not know.

I have done and no tubes

My question is what if u don't have money to bury you I own nothing and estranged from family they don't want to hear I'm sick I guess they don't want to be responsible for burying me and I've never ask for any kind help in my life. Will state bury me even if I have kids I claim no one on my forms at hospital

I had a friend who was in the same position as you, she gave her body to the local hospital for research and when they were done they took care of the funeral. it was a teaching hospital she used. You might want to check into this
