After Death Care and Grief Support

Just as we plan a wedding, a baby, or a home or car, we need to discuss funeral planning and associated costs. Avoiding the topic will make it more difficult and likely more expensive for you and your loved ones. 

Planning ahead can make a painful time easier to bear for your friends and family. They will find great meaning and peace in carrying out thoughtful funeral plans that honor your wishes. And how are those that matter most to you supposed to cope with the pain, confusion, and sorrow that come with grief? You’ll need to plan for that too!

Attend this webinar and learn how to:

• Be a Savvy Consumer – Know Your Rights When Dealing with Funeral Homes
• Shop Until You Drop - Pre-Planning vs. Pre-Paying Final Arrangements
• Donate - Organs, Tissues, and Eyes
• Determine Your Body Disposition – Terramation, Cremation, Aquamation, Burial, Recomposting
• Decide on the Type of Interment - Where, How, When
• Plan Grief and Mourning Support for Those Who Matter Most to You In the Days, Weeks, Months, and Years After You're Gone

Whatever you choose, be sure it’s based on what’s meaningful to you. No amount of money, great or small, can express how we feel about those who have died. Taking an active role in funeral arrangements—whether that means carrying out the whole process without a funeral home or just preparing and delivering the eulogy.

Thinking and talking about end-of-life wishes and making final arrangements, including grief support for loved ones, can be tough. However, deciding, discussing, and documenting your final wishes, then sharing them with those who matter most to you, has proven to ease anxiety and reduce stress. This means "Peace of Mind" for everyone!
