Synopsis

The ONE book you need when someone dies "More than just rituals, this manual will help you understand what needs to be done, and to do it in a style that will comfort and sustain you. This book is about good goodbyes that are worthy of the people we loved, that will help heal the aching hearts and empty spaces. I offer it to you in love and in the name of those who have gone on before, who have taught me more than I have ever wanted to know about death — and more than I ever thought possible about life." From the Foreword "Remembering a Life" covers the immediate decisions that need to be made, as well as giving information on home funerals, funeral homes, planning the funeral and memorial services, burial, cremation, green burial, grieving, coping, remembering, and making your own funeral plans.
