Our Canadian culture’s fear of death truly handicaps a family’s ability to plan well and prepare for end of life. Less than half of our population has a will, never mind all the other important paperwork that is necessary to ensure a graceful, affordable, and dignified death. The results of lack of planning are stress, emotionally charged end of life discussions, over spending for cremation/burial and end of life ceremonies and family squabbles – and believe me, here at the Memorial Society of BC we have heard it all!
We have come to know that great preparation and planning go a long way to creating an end of life experience that deeply satisfy the needs of the family to let go well and say goodbye in ways that honour family values and priorities. This wisdom is a result of our experience over sixty-two years of helping BC families create affordable, dignified, and meaningful end of life ceremonies.
Our All Ready to Go Binder Kit is a great tool for families who want to create an action plan well ahead of time so when the end is near all the major decisions have been made, everyone is one the same page, and families members can grieve well knowing all has been planned and the many details are handled.
Creating your family’s binder is a great way to ensure that the discussions and conversations necessary for a great ending were completed. With cool heads prevailing those challenging topics can be better handled much more gracefully and without the added stress of emotions that are so natural and common at the end of life.
Avoid the chaos and upsets that often accompany the end of life by planning. Being All Ready to Go is after all a very generous gift you can give your family.
Be educated, be prepared, and be at ease!
