She draws on her own experience, plus interviews with experts ranging from monument makers to morticians, to hold your hand through:
- Asking your parents about their end-of-life wishes while you can
- Getting a body buried, cremated, or donated to science
- Planning a funeral
- Securing a death certificate
- Dealing with your parent's property—or debt
- Handling even more tricky issues you never wanted to be in charge of
- And still being able to laugh, a little, sometimes
Nothing about this is easy. The good news is you have someone on your side.
