The entitlement is indeed shocking. I don’t get why its so hard to simply do what someone asked to be done with their own property.

It's not hard and I understand your point, but you have no control over what happens after you die. You know that your wishes may or may not be respected, so destroy/encrypt what you don't want to be seen by others while you can.

In any case, it's only a problem for the living. Dead you won't be bothered by it.

I find it more entitled to expect that "property" is a concept that transcends society's needs. Personally I require that my private collection of Picassos is burned upon my death.

There's no need here. Only want.
