The kindness is in the specifics
A grieving family makes 70+ decisions in 72 hours. Most are fine to leave open; a handful (open vs. closed casket, burial vs. cremation, religious vs. secular) become arguments because no one ever asked. This sheet pre-resolves the arguments while you can still make them.
Companion to the End-of-Life Wishes Document in `/seniors/` — that page covers the *medical* and *bedside* wishes, this page covers what happens *after*. Together they cover the conversation completely.
Backup / contact keeps each wish actionable. “Songs by my friend Mara” is meaningless without Mara's phone number; this column makes sure each wish has someone to act on it.
Templates only — not legal advice. Pre-paid funeral arrangements are a regulated industry — the *plan* lives here, the *contract* lives at the funeral home.
