Joseph F. Smith instructs bishops and stake presidents that payment of tithing and observance of the Word of Wisdom are necessary for Mormons to obtain temple recommends. Smith also says: "Suicides who are willful should not be buried in [temple] robes or have a public funeral, but local authorities must be the judges of their state of mind when committing the act and act accordingly."
