notes:	Unto everyone hath been enjoined the writing of a will. ¶109 According to the Teachings of Bahá’u’lláh, the individual has a duty to write a will and testament, and is free to dispose of his estate in whatever manner he chooses (see note 38). Bahá’u’lláh affirms that in drawing up his will “a person hath full jurisdiction over his property,” since God has permitted the individual “to deal with that which He hath bestowed upon him in whatever manner he may desire” (Q&A 69). Provisions are set out in the Kitáb-i-Aqdas for the distribution of inheritance in the case of intestacy. (See notes 38–48.) – Bahá'u'lláh, Kitáb-i-Aqdas, note 136 "... make the necessary provision in your will, stipulating that ..., being a Bahá’í, you request that your remains not be cremated and not be taken more than an hour’s journey from the place you die.” The spirit has no more connection with the body after it departs, but as the body was once the temple of the spirit, we Bahá’ís are taught that it must be treated with respect." – Shoghi Effendi, Directives of the Guardian, p. 87 (1973 edition)
