Miss Me - But let me go
When I come to the end of the road,
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little - but not too long
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared,
Miss me - but let me go
For this journey that we all must take
And each must go alone
It's all a part of the Master's plan
A step on the road home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing a good deed.
Miss me - but let me go

Necrophobia Fear of death or dead things
Did you know that fear of death is between 10 and 12 of the top most fears?
To many, dying is the unknown and most try to prevent it. Dying is part of the cycle of life and we all are headed that way. How you live your life and how you prepare only you can make those choices. I see people in their 70s trying to regain their youth by exercising, eating healthier and trying to avoid stress.
There are many sites (Internet) that can tell you when you will die, how you will die, etc... just Goggle "death".
Don't wait until you have had a major medical complication or have your loved one go through a rough patch to think about dying.
Pre-planning or making pre-arrangements for burial is designed to protect your family from unnecessary pain and stress during a time of loss. To made matters worse, an immediate financial strain is placed on surviving family members.
Prearrangement is one of the most meaningful gifts of love you can provide for your family.

Cash Advance Items
Cash Advance Items are charges that usually fall to the family at the time of death in addition to funeral home expense. They require cash on hand to pay for them and include expenses such as flowers from the florist and charges from the newspaper for obituaries. As you can see, these are funeral related costs, but the charges do not originate from the funeral home itself.
The good news is, you can spare your family from the burden of coming up with the cash for these out of pocket expenses by making arrangements ahead of time in your prepaid funeral contract. You can even pay for these expenses over time, along with the rest of your prearranged funeral.
The funds you set aside today will grow along with your prepaid funeral contract in order to guard against inflation.
Examples of Cash Advance Items include:
Death certificate
Transportation expenses
Obituary and death notice fee
Catering for luncheon or reception
Clergy honorariums
Vocalist
Police escort
Clothing
Flowers
Grave opening/closing, Monument/marker
Unforeseen expenses
If you do not have these items in your contract let your family know. Your gift to your family would be to get a prepaid funeral arrangement and take the burden away from your loved by making the decisions and choices for what you want.

Why you should be making decisions early
Did you know that prearrangement is perhaps one of the most meaningful gifts of love you can provide for you family? Talking about funerals is hard for some people but we are all headed that way.
Getting together before an illness or a devastating crisis should be your number one concern when it comes to pre-planning for a funeral. Not only will you have peace of mind but your wishes will be written down so that it does not fall on your loved ones.
Do not wait until it is too late. With pre-planning you can pay and set the price of the goods at current prices, you can make payments so that your loved ones do not have to sacrifice to come up with the money.
As of 2009:
