So last time I told you about my experience in a funeral home arranging a funeral.  As I began working at GFD, I found that my discussions with my own parents seemed to be drifting ever so quaintly toward what their final wishes are.  No consensus there yet. They have to iron out the details of the rituals, burial places etc..., but there is discussion.

These discussions are quite light-hearted but every couple of weeks the topic comes up and I listen intently about what they really want. 

Really the best thing to do is to have them sit down with a funeral director to discuss and document their wishes.  And no, pre-payment is not necessary.
