Death came to my family suddenly and unexpectedly. My family was forced to make plans for the funeral, viewing, graveside service and reception without any tools or prior knowledge of how to plan. We were not prepared for the wave of tasks and decisions ahead of us. Out of my own personal experience and similar experiences of friends, I created this funeral organizer for your benefit. The funeral planner is a tool you can use when death enters your life, whether it is sudden or anticipated. I only wish I had had this tool when my family suffered loss.
