Agreed
Amare nods. "It's decided then. We will have a service for Kraig and I will read his last requests."
The captain keeps a short will written by all the crew that wishes to give him one. Tradition is that if someone does not want to be brought back, they note it on the outside of the document, which is typically only one page, folded and wax sealed. The captain had not yet opened it, because it did not have that note on the outside and he didn't want to open it if you brought Kraig back.
The wealthier crew members (such as the Kormiere relative) would have more elaborate wills at their home port and the note the captain has would say as much.
