Quote from: "Alcoholic"Why do you people plan your deaths?

When my parents died, I had no choice...



I have no brothers, sisters, kids, grandparents, or legal spouse.



What this means, at least in British Columbia, is my entire estate would be, by default, handled by the government, with ALL value and decision making capability left to them.  They would be the beneficiary.



Most people are not in my situation, and even without a will, would have a default family member or spouse that would be able to handle affairs.



I am not one of those people, and it is of UTMOST importance that I maintain a will, which generally does have a clause for funeral wishes...

I just think its good that if you have certain wishes, that they are addressed before ya actually die. Like I dont wanna go in the ground, nor have a traditional funeral. I go up and down the interstate all the time, avoiding accidents all the time, but one of those times might hit me, or it might not, just never know when ya gonna go.

Other than agreeing on a few things, iron horse jockey and Herman are not alike at all.

Once you have finished pre-planning your funeral you should create an Everplan where you can store these plans and share them with trusted deputies who will carry out your wishes.



P.S. You really should try out your own Everplan.



It's really simple to set up, it's free to try, and it can make a world of difference for your family if something happens to you. Set up your Everplan now.

Oh I know. Jus cheaper than going in the ground lol.



Nah, my mom was either suicide or murder. There was no wishes or anything, so at the age of 22 I had to figure everything out myself. Kinda stressful to do within a couple days with no warning and her just up and gone. Then there was my wife, we knew she only had 6 months, so we had some time to go over things. Just wouldnt want to leave everything on someone else to figure out ya know?
