Pre-Planning Checklist

This is a place to start in thinking about your memorial or funeral. Consider that these events you are planning, while they are in your honor and memory, are not for you. They are things that you plan for the benefit of those that will grieve your loss. Ask yourself: what will my kids need to do, to know, to say, etc.

Here is a checklist to start with:

• Prepare a list of people who should be contacted in case of a medical emergency or
  death
• Write an obituary or write down information needed for an obituary
• Decide where the obituary should appear
• Choose the type of service you would like (burial or cremation)
• Choose Your Details:
• Cemetery lot location
• Casket type/Cremation urn type
• Vault/Sectional crypt
• Type of service: religious, military, other
• Your pallbearers
• Your music selection
• Your flowers
• Readings at service and who will read them
• If people make donations, where would you like them to go?
