For Those You Leave Behind

When a loved one dies, organizing the final arrangements is the last thing anyone wants to deal with while grieving. By planning in advance - addressing those issues not covered by wills nor financial planning – you will be able to ease the burden on those you leave behind.

When a loved one dies, organizing the final arrangements is the last thing anyone wants to deal with while grieving. By planning in advance - addressing those issues not covered by wills nor financial planning – you will be able to ease the burden on those you leave behind.


In each section of UnexpectedPassing.com, you will find an online guide that offers insights to navigate the necessary details for pre-planning purposes or after a loved one's death. While wills and estate planning are critical for this eventuality, the complexity of our lives today may cause other important matters to be overlooked. It is especially difficult with an unexpected death. You are forced to make final decisions while you are grieving.
 

The information we provide, along with the tools, outlines what you need to consider and provides guidance for those steps to address every challenge throughout the process. Why? Because we have been there. We have dealt with many of the same headaches and heartaches. We want to make it easier for you.

Do you have questions about how to find a funeral home or crematorium? What about a green burial?


How many death certificates do you need? Who moves the body across state or country lines?


Are special arrangements needed for the remaining spouse, a special needs child, or pets?

 The Back Story 

Our guidance is the result of my experience as the Executrix of a college friend’s estate, who was ill and had no family. While there was time to organize considerable information, many details were neglected. 


The first hurdle I faced on her passing was what to do with her mortal remains. A detail not included in any of the paperwork she left me. Then, there was the problem of having every login possible, except to her computer. I had to sort it out – initially long-distance from Aruba! 


Drawing on these personal experiences, as well as generous feedback and input from friends and family, I created When I Leave You - a comprehensive framework to follow for pre-planning death arrangements and the seed idea for this site. 

  

UnexpectedPassing.com provides step-by-step organization tools and a pre-planning guide for death arrangements. We offer a gentle starting point for a loved one in failing health, new parents, those responsible for dependent children, single friends - in short everyone.
