ONE. I direct my Executor or Executrix, as the case maybe, to pay all of my debts, funeral and administrative expenses as soon as convenient after my decease. I direct that my organs be donated for transplants to others, as maybe appropriate, and then be cremated and the ashes interred, and that the expense thereof be reimbursed out of my estate as a funeral expense. Furthermore, I direct that all state, inheritance, succession and other death taxes imposed or payable by reason of my death and interest and penalties thereon with respect to all property composing of my gross estate for death tax purposes, whether or not such property passes under this Will, shall be paid by the Executor or Executrix of my estate.
