First off, let me say that my mother is not sick or dying. I’ll admit that I was not thrilled that my mom planned her meeting with the funeral home on my birthday. I just looked at it as being a “circle of life” kind of day. My mother has been working on making sure all of those final decisions have been made for quite some time – this was the last piece to be completed. So why now? We just went through my father-in-law passing and his final plans had been made in advanced and paid for. This made my mother see how much easier things were for us to deal with at such a horrible time in a child’s life. That and the fact that is doesn’t get cheaper as the years go by.
Planning something such as a funeral while one is happy and healthy is a good thing. If there is no pressure or impending event driving the decisions, you can think calmly and clearly about what you would like as your final wish.
