FAQs
1. What can I do with ashes after cremation?
Ashes can be buried in a cemetery, placed in an indoor or outdoor niche, scattered (within local laws), or kept in an urn at home.2. Is cremation the most affordable option?
Yes. Direct cremation without a service is often the lowest-cost option, especially when using a self-serve plan.3. What is green (natural) burial?
Green burial avoids embalming, metal caskets, and concrete vaults allowing the body to return naturally to the earth.4. Can I have a green burial in any cemetery?
Not all cemeteries allow it. Some have dedicated green sections or specific requirements. I can help you explore your options.5. Can I pre-plan and pay ahead for any option?
Yes. Preplanning locks in today’s costs and relieves your family of future stress on the worst day of their lives. I can guide you through the process.

This is what I needed for my dadIt's not easy to face death, but this book will help my loved ones put the pieces together when I'm gone. I wish we had this for my dad when he passed away suddenly. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have their affairs together in one fillable PDF file.

When I finished this ebook, I shared it with my family right away. No one wants to think about death, but having everything organized in one simple PDF gave us all peace. After my uncle passed suddenly last year, we struggled to find his important papers. I didn't want my family to face that stress.

When my husband died suddenly, I was heartbroken and overwhelmed. My mind felt stuck in fog. But his planning saved me. Because he organized everything ahead, I didn’t have to fight through paperwork or guess his wishes. I could just focus on healing. That was his final act of love; by taking care of me, even when he was gone.
