Well, my poorly explained point was that it makes things a lot easier for those you leave behind if they know what you want. Big decisions like cremation vs. burial are more easily made if they know you wanted cremation. In the end, if those decisions have already been made by you, its easier for them to pick up the pieces and go on.
Look at it this way, telling your family as much as you can about what you want is sort of the last kindness you will be able to do for them.
