The Last Track

Ideas for Starting the Conversation about Your Final Wishes

Brian Season 43 Episode 1

This trilogy is exploring pre-arrangements and beginning your journey of writing down your final wishes. 

While most deaths today are due to chronic illness such as heart disease and cancers, death can occur unexpectedly in accidents and sudden severe illness. This is why it is important to start the conversation about final wishes early. In this episode, Brian talks about what things should be addressed in a conversation about death. He explains what information your funeral director will need to know in an arrangement conference and what to write down during the conversation. He also talks about what items should be brought to an arrangement conference and different documents that would be helpful to have located.
