Losing someone you love stops everything. The shock and grief can feel overpowering, but decisions about final arrangements may need to be made quickly. This checklist walks you through the immediate steps — some more urgent than others — at a pace you can manage. What is most important to remember is that you don't have to do everything all at once.
Let's face it: planning for the final chapter doesn’t top most to-do lists. Yet being proactive about your legacy can be an empowering experience. Having these conversations and making decisions ahead of time may spare your loved ones distress. Planning also prepares you or those you love for the expenses involved. As with the prices of everything from rent to groceries, funeral and burial costs are rising.
