It’s natural to plan ahead. We plan vacations, weddings, birthday parties and holiday gatherings. But when it comes to talking about dying, we generally shy away from end-of-life conversations because they can be emotionally challenging. This interactive presentation addresses the advantages of pre-arranging a funeral, including the benefits of planning and steps involved in the planning process. By talking about funeral arrangements in advance, you can help protect your loved ones from the emotional and financial burdens of making difficult decisions in a time of grief and ensure that your personal wishes are known. Participants may request a free Personal Planning Guide to help get them started.
