Resources

These are some of my favorite resources so far. I'm sure this list will grow and change over time. Feel free to share some of your favorite resources here, too!

End-of-Life Planning

 

National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization

This is one of the very best comprehensive websites I've found so far. The resources are extensive and easy to navigate. "CaringInfo, a program of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, provides free resources to help people make decisions about end-of-life care and services before a crisis."

Cake

Know Your Rights

 

Funeral Consumers Rights

An excellent resource listed by State to learn your legal rights and governing laws.
