One thing I wish more people knew…

You don’t have to wait until someone passes to talk about what they would want for a funeral.

Those conversations can actually be really meaningful — and sometimes even lighthearted and funny.

And when the time comes, families are incredibly grateful they had them.

Let’s get comfortable having uncomfortable conversations.

Have a great Tuesday!

Here’s a thought most people avoid…

Every single one of us will need a funeral, cremation, or memorial service someday.

Yet most families wait until the worst day of their lives to make the decisions.

Grieving.
Emotional.
Exhausted.
And suddenly responsible for dozens of choices they’ve never had to think about before, as well as the cost.

But the truth is — it doesn’t have to be that way.

Preplanning isn’t about expecting the worst.
It’s about loving your family enough to make things easier for them someday.

It’s one of the most thoughtful, responsible things a person can do.

And the families who do it always say the same thing after…

“I’m so glad we took care of that.”

Motivation Monday reminder:
Take care of the things today that your family shouldn’t have to worry about tomorrow. Even if it’s hard.

One thing I’m told often is…
“You don’t look like a funeral director.”

I think some people picture the guy on the left.

In reality… you just get Mike and I. 😄
