We are in the process of developing a list of regional and eventually, state-by-state contacts to enable you to find resources pertaining to home and family directed funerals, after death care and green burials in your own state. Please contact us if you would like to be listed here.
Once you accept your own death, all of a sudden you are free to live.
Eventually, we must all face our own death.
How comforting if those left behind after we die know our “final wishes” and the details needed to carry them out.
Our hope is that, by envisioning this process in thoughtful detail before it is imminent, each of us will be able to enter this final journey with calm dignity and loving support, and with as little fear and anxiety as possible.
The Threshold Care Circle of Viroqua has published a booklet, My Final Wishes, which offers you a way to record that information. It is a fill-in-the-blank workbook for you to record your preferences for end of life and afterward. It includes wishes for funeral, burial and memorial services; information for your death certificate and obituary; and the location of papers needed to handle your estate as well as phone numbers of important people to call.
Filling out the booklet gives us an opportunity to reflect on our lives and who and what is important to us. It will also be a great comfort to those we leave behind if they know our wishes and the details needed to carry them out.
My Final Wishes is available for a donation of $10 plus $.75 shipping. Contact the TCC for price if ordering more than 10 books. To order your copy, call Susan Nesbit at 608-606-4566 or download an order form.
