It's hard. There are so many details you have to look after. You need to decide if you want a service and where will that be held? How much will they charge you for it? Do you want a minister? Or, will your family take care of it? Do you want a program? What are the cost associated with that? Music? Thank you Betty for having paid in advance for his cremation. If not, you'd have questions such as, burial or cremation? Coffin? Wood or Aluminum? Burial vaults and Headstones. Do you want a hearse and limos? Professional services (such as embalming and someone to guide the vistors to their chairs and stand off to the side witnessing the event). It's gonna cost you. Every decision you make has a cost associated with it. Obituary is pay by the inch. Just everything! It feels like vultures picking meat of bones.
It's important to gather the pictures and scan them in. Make time and spend it creating the DVD. Please let people take pictures of you even if you don't like it. Because when it all gets reduced down, you end up with about a hundred pictures that is the sum of your life. You don't want a bunch of crappy ones. Smile! Enjoy the moment. Not just posed cheesy ones but pictures cooking dinner and living your daily lives. Then, when it's your turn to pass on the person that is doing it for you has a variety to choose from. So many people want to talk at Steves. He has seven people that are on the program. Who will want to talk at mine?
