Offering a plethora of curious facts, strange stories, and inspiration to help you think outside the coffin, It’s Your Funeral! includes worksheets that will ensure your wishes are recorded for posterity. Planning for death should be the time of your life, so let’s get started!

Reviews
“Kathy Benjamin is amazing at finding answers I never expected, to questions I never expected I’d ask. I am thrilled she’s applied those skills to my future ultimate party."
“Glib and slightly irreverent…With breezy writing and helpful planning guides, It’s Your Funeral! makes the task of funeral planning seem less daunting, and dare I say a bit of fun."
“Dying seems bad—which is why I never really planned to do it—but Kathy’s hilarious and informative book proves that it doesn’t have to be…I’m still not entirely sold on the idea of dying, but I at least feel better equipped to handle it on a logistical level."
“[A] concise but comprehensive guide with charm, wit, and more than a little absurdity. It’s the rare book that I’d recommend even to someone who hates the subject matter. (in fact, I’d argue that’s precisely who needs it the most).”
“Light, humorous, and practical.”
“Entertaining, educational, and even funny at times…[It’s] a complete, non-depressing reference to end-of-life planning that every household should have.”
“Just the right touch of macabre…Helpful, introspective, and fun.”
“This illuminating, brisk guide breathes vibrant life into a topic many would rather avoid.”
“Fact-packed and funny, It’s Your Funeral! is essential reading for these changing times.”
