Reference for Ketubot 95:11

אמר רב מתנה האומר אם מתה לא תקברוה מנכסיו שומעין לו מ"ש כי אמר דנפלי נכסי קמי יתמי כי לא אמר נמי נכסי קמי יתמי רמו

Matana said: A man who said that when [his wife] died she shall not be buried at the expense of his estate must be obeyed. Why should it be different if he has left instructions? Obviously because the estate falls to the orphans; but the estate falls to the orphans even if he left no instructions?
