Planning a funeral in advance is one of the most important and meaningful decisions you can make--but it's not always easy to talk about. That's where Lynn comes in! She keeps the conversation approachable and uplifting, making this journey of preparation feel empowering rather than overwhelming. Join us to explore the various funeral options-- whether it's eco-friendly, cremation, burial, or a combination. You'll gain valuable insights into the details that go into planning, from the funeral service itself to budgeting and ensuring your after-death wishes are honored. Ever thought about
