About

End of Life Planning Guide publishes four workbooks: a twelve-section planning binder, and three that go deeper on funerals, cemetery plots, and caring for a living parent.

They are PDFs. You buy one once and download it. There is no account, no subscription, and no login to lose.

We are not a funeral home, a cemetery, a law firm, a hospice, or a church. We do not sell insurance, prepaid funeral plans, or cemetery property. We do not take a commission from anyone who does.

We do not give legal, tax, financial, or funeral advice, and nothing we publish is a substitute for it.

Because they get filled in by hand, photocopied, and read under fluorescent light by someone who is tired. Plain paper, wide margins, and one question per line survive that. Decoration does not.

We sell the workbooks. That is the only way. We do not run ads, we do not sell or rent email addresses, and we are not paid to recommend any funeral home, cemetery, attorney, or insurer.

Every factual sentence in a workbook traces to a named source: the FTC Funeral Rule as published in the Code of Federal Regulations, the Social Security Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the CDC's vital records directory, the National Institute on Aging, the Uniform Law Commission, and named state statutes.

If a rule differs by state, we say so and tell you who to ask, rather than printing a national answer that is wrong in your state. Where no authoritative number exists, the price of a direct cremation is the clearest example, we say that too, and give you the question to ask instead.
