You can make pre-arrangements with the crematory to decide who would have legal authority over your remains.
They have a form you can complete to name who you want.

I want to know how to have my cremains disposed of without having my daughter do it.
I understand this is a sensitive matter for you. Have you already made arrangements for your cremains to be disposed of in a specific way?
No. Not yet.
Are you looking for legal advice on how to ensure your wishes are carried out regarding the disposal of your cremains?
Yes. I just don’t want them to go to her. She will inherit everything else.
Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your cremains disposal.
Yes
My name is Evan, and I will be answering your question.
Thank you!
Please let me know if you have any additional information or clarifications before I answer your question.
Thank you!
The context is that she has cut off contact with me. I don’t mind her inheriting, but I don’t want her in charge of my remains. It’s an emotional thing.

Oh! That makes a lot of sense! I didn’t even think of that! Thank you so much!
Please let me know if you have any additional questions I can help with.
Thanks.
