Memorial Service Planner & Funeral Planning Checklist (PDF)

Yes. The planner works for traditional funerals, memorial services, graveside services, and informal celebrations of life — including the common "small service now, larger gathering later" path. A gentle decision worksheet helps your family choose the form that sounds like the person it honors, and every worksheet adapts to religious, spiritual, or secular services alike.

With one short page. Part One begins with a first-48-hours checklist of the very few things that need attention now, followed by a full page of things that are allowed to wait — in writing, so you can show it to anyone who is rushing you. The planner is deliberately built so you never face more than one calm page at a time, and most pages can be handed entirely to a willing helper.

No — and that is deliberate. This is an organizational planner: checklists, worksheets, trackers, and templates that keep names, tasks, and details in one calm place. For legal, financial, and estate matters, it gently points you toward the right professionals and the questions worth asking them, since requirements vary widely by country and situation.
