Joel, Thank you for putting this together. My dad is getting very old and I plan to discuss what you have here with my brothers. On a related note, when my mother and aunt passed, I learned to do a couple things: 1) What do they want for final arrangements? e.g. burial site / cremation / funeral mass 2) if buried, it is important to make arrangements while they are alive. They do not charge more if dead, but they do give discounts if alive. I know same thing, but I believe the semantics are a legal issue 3) if a mass, what kind and type? My cousins who were caring for my aunt were of a different religion, so I was asked to figure it out. Lot of pressure for something I was not familiar with doing. Once again, thank you for your template.
