Cremation Pre-Planning Checklist

So, you're thinking about making your final arrangements? This checklist will help you make sure every detail is handled properly.

• Prepare a list of people who should be contacted in case of a medical emergency or death
  
• Write an obituary or write down information needed for an obituary
  
• Decide where the obituary should appear
  
• Choose the type of disposition you would like (burial or cremation)
  
• Choose Your Details: 
• Casket type/Cremation urn type 
• Vault/Sectional crypt 
• Type of service (religious, military, other)
• Your pallbearers 
• Your music selection 
• Your flowers 
• Readings at service and who will read them 
• The charity, church, or organization you would like donations to be made to
