Funeral Requests

Author: Loriann Miller, student   20.04.2007

Death is an uncomfortable subject to discuss with loved ones. My family has just recently been broaching the subject with my 95 year old grandmother. Obviously, we want her around forever, but we know that she has already led an extraordinarily long life that likely won’t go on much longer.

We started the discussion because we want to make sure that we grant all of her final requests. This includes what funeral home she would like used, the type of service she would like, the type of burial urn to be used, and who should be invited to the memorial. My grandmother has been very frank with us about what she wants and hasn’t seemed at all fazed by the discussions.
