Overview

Have you ever been at a funeral, turned to the person sitting with you and said, “I never want you to do this to me. When the time comes, remember I'd like …” Well, this is a book to collect those thoughts so you can put them down and forget about them—knowing they are expressed for the right people to see and act on at the appropriate time.

Everybody’s going to die. Nobody gets out alive. Death is the one thing you can absolutely count on. Why then are people so reluctant to plan for it?

Full of humorous and poignant funeral stories and first-person accounts, Grave Expectations - Planning “The End” Like There’s No Tomorrow, like the perennially popular wedding planners that line the shelves of every bookstore, is the ultimate handbook, packed with creative suggestions for realizing one’s final wishes. This is a book that gives people permission to memorialize their lives on their own terms and in their own ways. This is a lively book about preparing for death; it’s not a book to be afraid of. Who knew arranging a funeral could be fun?

"... the book is wonderful. It's charming, it's informative and funny."

Meredith Vieira on the Today Show

In what may be the most entertaining funeral planner on bookshelves, Bailey and Flowers offer a guide to help prepare for the end. Interspersed among chapters discussing the merits of environmentally friendly burials and the various ways a person can have their body used for science, the authors offer facts and tidbits about death-related practices from around the world.

    Very good book

    But not quite what I expected after seeing the authors on t.v. It is very informative, takes the scary out of dying, and is pretty straight forward. I loved the little tidbits of death culture around the world scattered throughout the book.
