Testimonials on the Funeral Planning Checklist:
_"This handbook was a God send. Things were so much easier,
especially for his children who had never been through this before.
Other family members tried to influence the children to change what he
wanted but because it was in writing, we were able to follow his
wishes even before he passed away. We are so grateful that even the
details of his clothing choice were already made. Everything was done
for us." - L. Price_
_"This is a powerful book that was painstakenly put together to help
people when they are most vulnerable... When they are emotional.
Reading this before you actually need these services will prepare you
tenfold."_ _- Jesus Ramirez_
_The Funeral Planning Checklist_
Why do I need a Funeral Planning Checklist?
There are more than 80 tasks to be done when a loved one passes away.
By completing your _Funeral Planning Checklist_, you will have
relieved and minimized the burdens left to your loved ones. When faced
with multiple emotional and financial decisions, which must be made
quickly and during a time of intense grief and stress, your _Funeral
Planning Checklist_ will assist your loved ones in being well prepared
and well informed.
_"Having all my mother's paperwork already completed has helped so
much since she became terminally ill. Everything is running smoothly
and no one is questioning my decisions. With her pre-planning guide
completed, we just gave it to the funeral home and had no decisions
left to make. I don't know what we would have done without this." - M.
Lutz__ _
Purchasing a funeral should be handled the same way you would
purchase any other "big ticket" item. The cost of a funeral is one of
the largest purchases you and/or your loved ones will make. However,
when a death occurs, there is little time available to research your
options. Multiple emotional and financial decisions must be made
immediately under great emotional stress. Planning a funeral,
especially if this is the first time you have been required to do so,
is a very intimidating process. When we purchase any other "big
ticket" items in our lives, we educate ourselves by doing research to
make sure we are getting the best value for our money. When we don't
do our research ahead of time and make an instant, emotional decision,
we usually end up regretting it in the end. How many times have you
made an "emotional purchase", only to find out later, it was less
expensive somewhere else, the item did not meet your expectations or
you didn't really need the item? When purchasing a funeral, emotions
should not factor in to the financial decisions. However, if you are
unprepared, you will pay too much and purchase items that are not
necessary.
I have heard many people say "my family knows what I want" or "I
have already told my family what I want done". In my experience, if
your wishes are not in writing, your verbal instructions may not be
understood, interpreted or remembered the same way with each person
you have told. The result of verbal instructions, especially with
multiple loved ones in a very stressful situation trying to assist, is
similar to having multiple witnesses to the same auto accident. Each
person sees, hears, recalls and interprets the information
differently. This lack of specific instruction results in an
unfortunate and unnecessary amount of family discourse and
misunderstandings.
This guideline for your loved ones will help eliminate the stress
and tension of decision making especially if each member of your
Support Group is aware of and has reviewed your Pre-Planning Guide. I
meet with client after client that share their stories of how the
family fought and argued with each other over what mom told who and
how dad said to do it.
I know a family that has not spoken to each other since their mom's
funeral, over seven years ago! It must be something major you say? No,
they simply did not agree on the color of dress their mother had told
them she wanted to wear. Does this seem a bit absurd to you?
Unfortunately, it is a very familiar situation for me. Combine family,
personalities, opinions, stress and emotions and you have the secret
recipe for funeral mayhem! With your detailed Pre-Planning Guide,
decisions are made, Support Group is chosen and everyone will
literally be on the same page and have the same goals in mind.

_"The knowledge this handbook gave the family was like a preemptive
strike. We were able to settle my father's estate step-by-step, and we
knew where everything was and who to call. There was no confusion. The
funeral pre-planning guide kept the family on track with a budget and
no bickering since there were no decisions left to be made." - B.
