Having read Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers (Mary Roach) not too much shocked me about this book but I loved the workbook style of it. Each chapter speaks to planning a different portion of your after party then lets you add notes, details, plans to reflect you.

MaggieCarr ... lots of people together so attending your own funeral could be fun! Next to weddings, Quinceañeras, and other costly events, funerals require a lot of thought and decisions during an already emotional time. Doing a lot of the work for you family before our demise is a generous way to share your love to your family. 2y

With a sense of humor, Kathy Benjamin prepares her readers for the one completely unavoidable consequence of living: death. Like it or not, death comes for us all. Unfortunately for us, we can't control what happens once we're gone, but with a little bit of preparedness, we can sure try.
