An important resource to help to organise and facilitate the duties that result from a death, this guide sensitively addresses the step-by-step process for making funeral arrangements, completing administrative tasks, and settling estates. Feelings of disorientation, exhaustion, and sorrow can often make it difficult to remember who to call, when to cancel credit cards and close bank accounts, and what to do about wills and grieving family members. Pullout checklists are provided at the beginning of each section so that no important detail is overlooked, allowing those in mourning to move toward closure. Also included are ways to help those who are grieving to take care of themselves during this difficult process as well as a resource list for organisations that are skilled in helping people through the death of a loved one.
