Today I want to share a list of questions that you should ask your spouse before they pass away. These are difficult conversations but necessary conversations.
Please, sit down with your spouse and talk about this.
You can also go to a local funeral home and make end of life arrangements now so that everything is set for when that time comes.
1.What is your desire to have happen to your body? (cremated, buried or donated to science)
2. If buried, where do you wish to be buried?
3. If you are cremated, do you want to have your ashes split in any way or made into anything?
4. Is it your wish for your organs to be donated (if possible)?
5. Do you want a funeral?
6. Where do you want your funeral to take place?
7. What kind of casket do you wish to have?
8. Do you wish to have an open or closed casket?
9. Is there anything in particular that you would like to be wearing at your funeral?
10. Are there any photos in particular that you would like displayed at your funeral?
