This event is part of AARP's Nationwide Virtual Community Center.
Our webinar on planning your final arrangements can help you make what will be a painful time for your loved ones easier to bear.
About the Event
Just as families plan for a wedding, a baby or buying a home, they may want to do advance end-of-life planning, too. Avoiding the topic with family members and friends will make eventually trying to respect your wishes more difficult, and likely more expensive, for your loved ones. And many people find great meaning and peace in carrying out funeral or memorial service plans that honor their loved one’s wishes.
Topics to be covered include:
- Your rights when dealing with funeral homes
- Pre-planning final arrangements vs. pre-paying for them
- Donating your organs or donating your body for medical research and training
- Your body disposition options (terramation, cremation, aquamation, burial) and creating directives about what you prefer
- Planning the ceremony you want
Garrick Colwell, co-founder of Kitchen Table Conversations, will facilitate this webinar.
