Can one accept a burial plot while renouncing the inheritance?

Yes. A person can accept the transfer to them of a plot intended to receive a body or ashes without this implying acceptance of the inheritance.

This rule constitutes a specific exception to the rules concerning the acceptance of an inheritance. It allows this issue related to funeral arrangements to be resolved without the heir being considered, for this reason alone, as having accepted the inheritance.
