Death may be inevitable, but there is still a significant event to follow – the funeral, or celebration of life ceremony. While the design of that ceremony can be left to the bereaved, some people may like to exert a measure of control over their last opportunity to express themselves.

The book shows you how to influence the style and structure of your ceremony, with your input varying from basic instructions to a full outline. You can leave written texts, playlists of music, or audio-visual presentations. It will make the organization easier for those who are tasked with managing the event.

Don't forget the ancillary issues—a legally enforceable will, putting in place an advanced care directive and power or attorney, and if there are children to consider, a guardianship agreement. This book covers it all.
