Before I Die Festivals give people an attractive way to learn about the many elements of being prepared for death. With a combination of entertainment, education, and discussions, Before I Die Festivals put the "fun" in funeral planning. People can visit funeral homes and cemeteries without having to experience a death in the family. This manual details how to create a Before I Die Festival with information gleaned from author Gail Rubin's five years of hosting these outside-the-box events that get people to plan for end-of-life issues.

The Before I Die Festival in a Box® gives you the tools and guidance to hold your own Festival. Whether you run a funeral home or cemetery, a related

end-of-life business, or as an individual who wants to bring this kind of event to your community, this manual and the associated tools provide what you need to hold a successful event. In addition to the manual, the kit from BeforeIDieFestivals.com includes a copy of Newly-Dead® The Game, Death Ed

Bingo!, guidelines for holding a Death Cafe, and the 4-DVD set of the TV interview series, A Good Goodbye: Funeral Planning for Those Who Don't Plan to Die. The eBook version stands alone from the bonus items with the Before I Die Festival in a Box™ printed version.
