Week Four – After-Death Plans

This week focuses on the practical arrangements that take place after death. While some people feel these decisions are less important, making them ahead of time can greatly reduce the burden on loved ones during an already difficult time.

You will consider things like final resting place, funeral or memorial arrangements, service details and participants, and important contacts who should be notified. We will discuss the importance of a healing funeral and what that entails. During this week you will also begin gathering information—and ideally drafting—your own obituary and other public announcements.
