Plan Ahead:  An Act of Love

Talking about your final arrangements isn’t easy. But it doesn’t have to be hard.

We encourage families to plan ahead before the need arises because it is a kind and compassionate thing to do.

Memorialization at the end of life can reflect a person’s life story and be transformative, healing, and comforting.  Meaningful memorialization starts when loved ones talk about what matters most: memories made, lessons learned, and how they hope to be remembered.
