I know for myself, I have already taken care of every detail, and I mean everything. My husband let me do this, as he knows that I am a planner. So when my time does come no one has to make any arrangements except to call and have me taken care of according to what I have already paid for and this does include my beautiful Urn. My husband understood that I needed to this. As I was only thinking of him.
When my Mom passed away 15 yrs. ago, my Dad didn't want to deal with any of the things before hand, and it was a horrible to get things together.
There is also a book I can recommend it is called Final Journeys by Maggie Callanan and also her other book called Finial Gifts.
I highly recommend these books to read. It may be hard for some to do, but I found alot of comfort in them. All of my questions have answered and if your Significant Other would read it, in there own time I am postive it can help.
I wish you the best.
