You have 72 hours, a grieving family, and decisions that will cost thousands - and no one hands you a guide.
Most people arrange their first funeral in shock, unsure what's standard, what's optional, or what they're allowed to ask. This book changes that.
Organized hour-by-hour from the first call to the final paperwork, it walks you through exactly what to do, what to ask, and what to avoid - calmly, without judgment, without pressure.
