Life’s final chapter is inevitable, but our own mortality is not a topic we talk about freely. Planning for death is uncomfortable, but prearranging one’s cemetary arrangements, funeral arrangements or a direct cremation/burial enables you to give your loved ones the gift of knowledge and financial stability when you die.
This month, Empowered Seniors Speakers Series is pleased to welcome a panel of experts who will provide essential insights, knowledge, and resources to help you address this universal stage of life. The Truth about Death, Dying and Funerals - Navigating End of Life Decisions will help you navigate death with courage, clarity, and a deep understanding of the choices and conversations that matter most.

What some new options are for funerals and/or cemetary

How pre-planning protects your family
What are some common misconceptions about cremation
What is the role of a cemetery vs a funeral home
