December 2012

The end of any year is always a whir of activities. The pace of each day seems to increase tenfold as we near the end of the close of another year.

There is holiday shopping;  year end tax planning;  year end charitable contributions;  decorating cookies and trees and homes; religious ceremonies and celebrations; school concerts and plays; final exams; and family gatherings, to name a few.

Have you ever attended a funeral and found yourself wondering what it would be like to plan for and "attend" your own funeral?

When Nonnie died, we had no idea what to do other than contact Nonnie's Minister at Third Presbyterian Church where she had worshiped for as long as I can remember. Nonnie did not pre-plan her funeral. 

So, how does one plan a funeral?
