Reference: http://www.alfawzan.af.org.sa/node/15738

Question: When a man dies in a [particular] city, and had requested [upon death] he be buried in different city, then is it obligatory to fulfil his [dying] request?

Response: Yes, so long as [fulfilling his dying request] does not:

• cause difficulty [for those responsible for his burial];
• delay his burial;
• harm him nor his family in any way

…then there is no harm in fulfilling his [dying] request.
