Surgery tomorrow and no living will.

Location: NYC I am having non-emergency surgery tomorrow afternoon as a result of an injury suffered last week.

I have been healthy all my life, single, and still in my 30’s, so a will hasn’t been anything I’ve actually sat down to think about.

I have had a beneficiary for banking, but nothing about burial.

If, G-d forbid, this procedure goes south and I don’t wake up I want a Jewish burial — which is within 24 hours of death.

Anesthesia called me Friday to discuss details and asked if I have a living will—I simply said no.

This is extremely important to me. DNR, DNI, and a kosher burial.

Do I write this on a napkin and leave it in my pocket?

I don’t want to be cremated, embalmed, or buried in a non-kosher casket.

What do I do last minute?

Thank you
