Planning the End Like There's No Tomorrow
Sue Bailey, Carmen Flowers

The cover of this book says ''Learn how to plan your own funeral... throw a good-bye party that no one will forget, stage a 'rehearsal dinner,' and more.'' That's only the beginning. You will find everything you ever wanted to know about ''kicking the bucket'' in style. And how helpful, creative, and, dare I say, ''fun'' it can be to think about one's final send-off? Why burden grieving loved ones with having to make your arrangements? Surely you are the best one for the job!

Written in a witty, humorous, and celebratory style, Grave Expectations asks us to change the way we view death, bringing a lightness of being and energy to a subject that is normally laden with dread and denial.

Read more...
I enjoyed reading about all the ritual/ceremonial ideas and what is actually possible. There are also informative anecdotes scattered throughout the book about the history of death practices and little-known facts about the industry.

Plus, the authors track the latest in the field of death and dying — green burials, alternatives to cremation called promession and resomation, and more. This book is decidedly irreverent and could offend those who may need fewer jokes and a more serious focus in making their final arrangements. But for those who feel that laughter and humor is a great antidote for a very solemn subject, read on and prepare for the last great hurrah of your life.
