Disrespectful to who or what? I'm sorry, but Terry's gone. There's no entity left to suffer if his legacy does not match what his desires were while he was alive - nor even to be the subject of the possessive "his".

In my opinion, the only valid positive outcome of respect for the dead can be in benefits to the living - who may benefit from either disrespecting the dying wish, or alternatively from the expectation that their own dying wishes may some day be fulfilled. That's definitely a debate.

I do think they made the right call here, though.
