Frequently Asked Questions

We suggest you tell a loved one that you have a plan in place, so that they know who to call when needed. Some people choose to add the details to their will, but a will is often not read until after the funeral has taken place.

Put the paperwork in a safe place with your other important documents. There’s nothing more to do.
