Short description

Call me crazy, but when I die I would rather choose how it's all going to go, at least one last time.It would be just swell to save those relatives and friends all those crabby hours, and bad decisions regarding my funeral, memorial service, wake, or whatever else I want to have happen to me after I bid adieu.

Extended description

This book will definitely not be the usual book on death and dying. In fact the preponderance of information will be about after you have left the scene.

The hard and fast evidence is that you (and everyone else on earth) will in fact die. The good news about this unalterable fact is just that; everyone has to do it. That means that all the good-looking, rich and fun-loving people whom you now currently hate, will have to do it too.

Another comforting thought is that there have certainly been a number of people who have died very successfully before us, and so we won't be alone in this experience.

If done correctly, this book should encourage those weak-hearted individuals,that would be almost all of us, who would rather live in denial right up until the last second, to make a couple of plans. In that way those who are in charge of the remains will have a clue who they are burying, or throwing to the winds.

What a great book for everyone to have when it comes to perserving the memory and fulfilling the wishes of I loved one. This handbook will guide you through all the steps to see that you are prepared and organized for the death of a loved one. Best investment I ever made for my family....thank you Sandy!

A++++++ What a great book - informative, yet in a comedic fashion. This book makes 'preparing' loads of fun! It also makes the perfect 'Over the Hill' present!!!
