We knew where the insurance and bank papers were. Neither had ever used a computer. Still, I'm sure many people out there are lost when loved ones die and don't know what to do.<br /><br />I'm creeping into the older generation category, so I need to get my preferences known.<br /><br />It's a hard thing to face.<br /><br />Morgan Mandel<br />http://morganmandel.blogspot.com<br />http://www.morganmandel.comMorgan Mandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118929301591850918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17112461.post-36427219419792445492009-07-02T14:10:49.672-05:002009-07-02T14:10:49.672-05:00This is such great advice.

They included a will (handwritten on a steno sheet and fortunately completely valid) and a number of articles from the LA Times on tribal (or unique) funerals. The will part was easy but the newspaper clippings didn't really convey her wishes except that she was interested in an eccentric farewell to an eccentric life. <br /><br />The hard part is trying to do the right thing while you're in the middle of dealing with a huge loss. Knowing your parents wishes makes that much easier.Gina Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100701844882701469noreply@blogger.com
