SECOND: PERPETUAL CARE AND MEMORIALS I direct the payment out of my estate of the cost of the perpetual care and maintenance of the burial plot. in which I shall be buried should arrangements for the same not have been concluded and paid for at the time of my death.

The reasonable cost of protecting, appraising, packing, storing, shipping, cleaning, delivering and insuring all assets disposed of in this paragraph, including costs incurred before the issuance of letters testamentary, shall be paid as an expense of administering my estate. My Executors may distribute property passing to a minor under this article to the minor or to any person to hold for the minor; and a receipt signed by such person shall fully discharge my Executors.

The executors or administrators of a deceased beneficiary are authorized to similarly disclaim or release any interest of the deceased beneficiary, without authorization or approval by any court.
