from Newsarama.com:
There will be no funeral service, per Will’s wishes. “Will and I hated funerals,” his wife, Ann, said the morning after his death. “We made plans long ago to avoid having them ourselves.” He will be buried next to his late daughter, Alice, who died in 1969. Surviving Will are his wife, Ann, and his son, John.

Unofficially, in lieu of flowers, you might consider a donation in Will’s name to the American Cancer Society – his daughter died of cancer – or the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, which Will was known to have supported.
