About this ebook
How to Plan a Funeral: A Simple and Easy Step-By-Step Guide to Making a Difficult Time Easier When Coping with Loss.
You know how awful it is when the inevitable happens, your world comes crashing down and you are unable to think straight?
There is so much to do and limited time? You are unsure who to turn to and what happens next?
This guide will help you navigate through the process whether your loss has recently occurred or, you are simply planning ahead. This book has been written with a global, international perspective in mind, so it is applicable to anyone living anywhere in the world. Although predominantly written with the United Kingdom in mind, the laws will vary from country to country, e.g. the United Kingdom compared to Scotland, and Ireland or, the rest of Europe and across the United States of America.
Nevertheless, what to do when someone dies, funeral planning and the psychology and emotions involved in dealing with death are essentially the same.
This book offers practical advice and better peace of mind in helping you to think more clearly and objectively while reflecting upon a myriad of important issues before and after someone dies.
This book will help you to prioritise tasks and manage your time for what needs to be done immediately after death (within one week);
provide advice on significant people to contact;
offer information about funeral arrangements and logistics and funeral-related and other financial expenses;
compare the advantages and disadvantages of pre-planned funerals;
discuss the role of an Executor;
define a property Trust;
and offer help in dealing with the aftermath of the funeral and the onset grief, including major life changes, coping with grief and adjustments in the future.
Appropriate planning helps you to make balanced, informed decisions and avoid unnecessary conflicts. It will be helpful for you to keep records and make notes along the way. There are blank-lined pages contained in the paperback version for note taking.
