After arranging the funerals of several family members, and attending countless friends and family memorials, I started thinking about what is appropriate funeral etiquette. I asked myself, how can the funeral arranging process be made easier? What do we need to know about power of attorney, probate administration, and funeral etiquette? I created this guide for you, others, and myself; people who would like to have had, and currently need, a point of reference while dealing with making funeral arrangements. The purpose of this book is to provide common rules for etiquette, understanding grief, and how to deal with others, especially during a time of bereavement. This book may not have all the answers, and some things are probably common-sense or common knowledge. But, it will give you a path, guide, understanding, and just support for when you need to talk about death, insurance, estate planning and all that stuff, we don't like to address.
