Let's talk about funerals: This is a
subject that most people prefer not to talk about and it is a
topic that is generally left until someone has died. Adverse
publicity about the "Death Care Industry" in the past couple of
years has made people more aware of the need to be informed on
this subject.
The majority of people in today's society die without any
funeral plans. Those left to make the decisions are usually
unaware of what the deceased would have chosen for his or her
funeral and burial arrangements. This can create both an
emotional and financial hardship on those placed in the position
of making the decisions.
The death of a loved one is, undoubtedly, is one of the most
traumatic experiences a person will ever face. Making funeral
arrangements can be overwhelming and grief is numbing. Clear
and rational decisions are difficult to make. Emotional
decisions can be very costly and laden with anxiety and guilt.
When a death occurs, there are over 50 decisions that must be
made in the first 24 hours, and many more in the following few
days. The average funeral today costs between $6,000 and
$9,000. Preplanning can help control this expense and make the
funeral planning process easier for everyone concerned.
"Let The Choice Be Mine" is a personal guide/workbook for
planning your own funeral. It provides pages of helpful
information, instructions, and a place to record your personal
wishes and other vital information. Whether you want something
elaborate or something simple, by completing this workbook you
can make informed decisions and help create arrangements that
will be meaningful to your family.
Every adult should complete this workbook, for their own peace
of mind and for the benefit of their family. It should be a
part of your estate planning, life insurance and other important
planning guides.
This book turns something people 'think' they should do into
something they 'know' they should do and guides them in the
proper way to do so. It is easy to understand and very
non-threatening.
