When my father passed away in 2018, he left behind no funeral plans, no life insurance, and a grieving family that somehow had to handle their shock and grief while making major financial decisions. Having lived through this, I do not recommend it for anyone. It was hell.
I understand–thinking about your death is uncomfortable and seems morbid. But it is the final act of love you can do for your loved ones. Allow them the space to grieve without having to worry about what type of funeral you would have liked, scrambling to find the money to pay for it, and making decisions no one should make in a state of shock and grief. If you have not already drafted a will and other legal documents, do that as well.
I have met and worked with both Andrea and Ingrid. Andrea works with families in Canada and Ingrid works in the U.S. Both are women of integrity and I endorse working with either of them when it comes to end of life planning.
If you would like more information on how to get started on your end of life planning, or have a loved one who hasn’t completed theirs yet, this is a great place to begin.
