Book excerpt: Death is not a popular subject for many people. The thought of making end of life plans can be very scary. This fear prevents too many people from making decisions, leaving instructions, or even thinking about what will happen to their survivor's after they die. The best time to make plans is now, while you still can. Not doing so will pass the burden to your family. Do they know what your wishes are? Do you, or they, have enough funds and other resources to take care of your final arrangements in addition to their other obligations? There are so many things to consider and plan for. Simply choosing between burial and cremation is just the beginning. Final Arrangements 101 discusses many issues and situations, that if not handled appropriately and timely, can leave your survivor's in a tornado of emotional, legal, and financial entanglements that can last for months, even years. Topics include myths and misconceptions, reasons to pre-plan, veteran issues and options, burial, cremation, life insurance, choosing the right funeral home and many horror stories about what happens to families when someone dies without taking care of these matters beforehand. Don't wait until it's too late! Do it now. You will be glad you did and so will your family.

Download or read book Confessions of a Funeral Director written by Caleb Wilde and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The blogger behind Confessions of a Funeral Director—what Time magazine called a "must read"—reflects on mortality and the powerful lessons death holds for every one of us in this compassionate and thoughtful spiritual memoir that combines the humor and insight of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes with the poignancy and brevity of When Breath Becomes Air. We are a people who deeply fear death. While humans are biologically wired to evade death for as long as possible, we have become too adept at hiding from it, vilifying it, and—when it can be avoided no longer—letting the professionals take over. Sixth-generation funeral director Caleb Wilde understands this reticence and fear. He had planned to get as far away from the family business as possible. He wanted to make a difference in the world, and how could he do that if all the people he worked with were . . . dead? Slowly, he discovered that caring for the deceased and their loved ones was making a difference—in other people’s lives to be sure, but it also seemed to be saving his own. A spirituality of death began to emerge as he observed: The family who lovingly dressed their deceased father for his burial The act of embalming a little girl that offered a gift back to her grieving family The nursing home that honored a woman’s life by standing in procession as her body was taken away The funeral that united a conflicted community Through stories like these, told with equal parts humor and poignancy, Wilde offers an intimate look into the business and a new perspective on living and dying
