As a funeral director, I see so many families who come in confused and upset, dealing with grief, who struggle to make the decisions around the funeral service their relative would have liked. Many times, people disagree over songs, music, or burial style. We encourage people to have discussions about the funeral they want with their family before they pass away, so the family can rest assured they are having the kind of service their loved one would have liked. This site gives you some ideas on how to plan your own funeral and communicate your wishes to your family.
