Description
This book gives you everything you need to prepare for your own death, from basic admin to acceptance of the concept itself. It's a practical guide and journal that asks us to confront the questions that many of us are afraid to discuss with our loved ones: What type of funeral do I want? What do I want to happen to my possessions? How do I want to be remembered? Evie, a former stand-up comedian, also explains why death planning is so important, using her extensive expertise as a council funeral officer. The exercises at the end of each section help you prepare for every mortality eventuality. From ensuring the admin of your life can be packed down quickly and efficiently, to guaranteeing you are given the correct funeral rites, to knowing what we are doing with your Facebook page. Once completed, it is intended to be stored along with your documents and important paperwork (and/or to trigger you to prepare those important documents and gather said paperwork if you haven't already). There is also a free text blank page after each section for your own notes. Throughout, Evie includes real-life stories to add her winning combination of light-hearted touches and serious lessons as to why this preparation is so vital.
