my personal representative to purchase such cemetery lot with a
contract for perpetual care, using therefor funds from my estate,
in such amount as he shall consider necessary and desirable, and I
authorize my personal representative to cause title to or
ownership of such lot so purchased to be vested in such person as
my personal representative shall designate.
Further, in this connection, I authorize my personal
representative to expend funds from my estate, in such amount as
my personal representative shall consider necessary and desirable
for the purchase, erection and inscription of a suitable marker
for my grave.
And further I desire that no viewing be conducted as
part of my funeral.

granddaughter HEATHER JO RICE of Carlisle, Pennsylvania and my

the principal of diversification;
4. To exercise any option or rights arising from
ownership of investments; and
5. To compromise claims without court approval, and
without the consent of any beneficiary.
SIXTH
Any and all payment or payments of any sum or sums,
whether in cash or in kind and whether for principal or income,
payable to my heirs, or any of them, shall be made upon the sole
receipt of the respective individual to whom the payment is made,
and free from anticipation, alienation, assignment, attachment and
pledge, and free from control by the creditors of any such
beneficiary. All shares of principal and income herein given
