What if there is a way to come to the end of our days, regardless of age, with no regrets? What if it is possible to experience our end-of-life without suffering?

Please Dance at My Funeral is a small, unintimidating reference that addresses each of these questions. Many people think they will go along for the ride and leave the final miles of their journey to chance. From an early age we plan for every aspect of our lives.
