What a good idea. I love the sewing machine idea. Just hope they wont be needed for a long time.

This is not weird! I have one daughter and I do not want her to have to deal with any of this when I pass away. I have bought and paid for my funeral and plot. We have dealt with the local funeral home for over 40 years. My grandmother took care of her funeral and plot when my grandfather passed away over 40 years ago. My mom took care of her funeral and plot several years before she got sick. When she passed away we only had to take her clothes in and pick the day. I even told the funeral director what kind of flowers I want in the arrangement over the casket.

I plan to pre-plan my stuff soon. I will be cremated with my ashes scattered and maybe pay for a memorial service if my children want one. I'll check on this before I pre-plan. I have three wonderful daughters and want to do all I can to save them from this task. Also, I'm signing a living will with my brother making the decision when to let me go. I also don't want my girls having to worry about this either.

My folks did this years ago so that all that was left to do after they passed, was to add the year of death. Since my sister was the one that had all the details to tend to, I know she appreciated it.

Thanks, me too :)

WHY?, I've got my coffin and slate stone, straight to crematorium ,no fuss,no expense then plant my urn putting in my dear dog's ashes too,so quick and cheap and money saved goes to dog rescue.

Idon't think it's weird. When my Granny passed away she left detailed instructions for her funeral all the way down to who was going to sing and what dress she wore. It saves time and touble and even some disagreements between siblings. Go for it!

My husband and I did this a few years ago and it was a little weird but we soon forgot about it and its good now

No it is not weird. I think it is great. My parents were apricot growers and we put an apricot branch with cots on it. Everyone loved it.

I think it is a great idea.
