Ahead of Your Time: A Complete Guide for End-Of-Life Planning

Combining practical guidelines with a thorough overview of posthumous activities, this handbook provides indispensable advice for preplanning every aspect of the procedures following death. Each step of the funereal process is systematically explored--beginning with financial and legal concerns and ending with funeral, cemetery, and monument matters--and supplemented with real-life stories and simple explanations. When completed, the more than a dozen included forms create a clear set of instructions for bereaved family and friends. Equally useful for those whose loved ones did not log their postmortem wishes, this invaluable manual offers solutions to delicate topics surrounding death, such as the notification of appropriate people, organ donation, and casket and grave-marker budgets.
