In Memoriam: A Practical Guide to Planning a Memorial Service

Amanda Bennett and Terence B. Foley have put together a comprehensive planning guide to help ease the difficult responsibilities involved in honoring a life that has ended. To organize a unique, and possibly even joyous memorial, Bennett and Foley encourage readers to consider what the deceased person was known for, to take into account the person's close friends and how they can be a part of the service, to think of religious issues (if appropriate), and to remember the hobbies and interests of the loved one. In Memoriam can be used for planning in advance, or can be an emergency manual when a death is unexpected, a time when it is not always easy to keep your mind clear and your thoughts organized.
