Step-by-step instructions for funeral arrangements,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Simply Essential Funeral Planning Kit (Paperback)
In writing Simply Essential Funeral Planning Kit, author Don S. Cochrane draws upon his fifty years of professional assisting people as a funeral director, counselor, educator, and administrator. Specifically designed and written for the non-specialist general reader, Cochrane provides step-by-step instructions for funeral arrangements for oneself, a friend, or a family member. All of the pertinent details are clearly and accessibly discussed including the three phases of a funeral; the different types of services available; the availability of professional assistance; the costs involved; documenting information for the family; as well as the emotional, cultural, and legal considerations relevant to a memorable funeral service. Enhanced with an accompanying computer disk containing the forms referred to in the book, Simply Essential Funeral Planning Kit is a strongly recommended addition to community library collections, and an invaluable guide for anyone charged with the responsibility of funeral arrangements for others, -- or who want to make their wishes known for their own funeral service when their time comes.

Funeral Planning - Is this really a kit?,
This review is from: Simply Essential Funeral Planning Kit (Paperback)
I have to agree with another reviewer of this book that this not a "kit", but simply a book with guidelines for planning a funeral. The book leaves out many important factors necessary to make good funeral planning decisions. The author is very qualified in his field and based on that I would have expecetd a better book.

This review is from: Simply Essential Funeral Planning Kit (Paperback)
This not a "kit", but simply a book with guidelines for planning a funeral. I sent it back and received another copy---no disk included in that one, either! So, buyer beware.
The book seems to be very helpful and practical and I would recommend it on that.
