The beauty about being online is, it’s a live document that you can update constantly.

The process was clear, simple, and felt worthwhile. I feel more prepared for any emergency. While I found it confronting to think through the finer details of my funeral planning – experiencing strong pre-emptive grief and feeling sorry for my loved ones will have to go through this – I’m glad I took the time to do it.
