Peace of Mind: Caregiving and End-of-Life Decisions

You have firm ideas about what kind of funeral you’d like, but does your family know about them? Are some of your relatives starting to need more assistance? Do your loved ones know what kind of end-of-life care you want?

Talking about death, caregiving, and end-of-life decisions is not easy. Many of us don’t know where to start or are afraid of raising the subject with loved ones.

Prearranging your own funeral or memorial service and involving your family in your decisions can bring peace of mind to everyone involved. But what kind of choices are available? What financial costs are involved? Barbara Chung Ho from Borthwick Mortuary and Hawaiian Memorial Park Cemetery, a Dignity Memorial provider, will discuss 10 things everyone should know about planning a funeral or memorial service.
