The Bussiness End of Death - 6

I promised a checklist: Here we go.

Right now, you need:
_____ A Will

_____ A Medical Directive

_____ To name a person, to take care of your affairs in case you are not able to care for them yourself. Your family & close friends need to know who this person is and you should grant him/her a power of attorney (only effective when it is delivered).


In preparation for death:
_____ Where will you be buried?

_____ Which funeral home?

In preparation for the funeral:
_____ A short personal biography including your date and place of birth, accomplishments and achievements.

_____ Who will speak at your funeral? Minister __________ Eulogy _______________

_____ What songs will be sung/played?

_____ Who will serve as pall bearers?

Hi Mike,

I randomly stopped by the website and read your series of blogs on planning for your death. It had special meaning for me since my Mom (Terri Conner) has been so sick over the last few months. It's clear to me now that my Mom, brother, and I have a lot of work to do. But at least there's somewhere to start. Thank you!
