Synopsis

This book encourages pre-planning your own funeral. The various types of funeral services are explained in simple terms. Decisions will include what type of funeral services to have, choices about burial, cremation and other types of disposition, caskets, and cemetery contracts. Legal issues and consumer rights are covered, with frequently asked questions about legal documents. Throughout the manual there are many lists to help make choices including flowers, hymns and Bible readings. In the back of the book there is a set of forms that are to be completed and a listing of business professional and consumer groups. The forms are of use to think through your choices and communicate your wishes to others. Planning a funeral is never a pleasant task, but at least this book puts some structure around a difficult duty.
