Much of our discussion related to your exit strategy focuses on paving the way to your preferred ending. However, don’t forget to consider your needs and wants related to the dying process and memorialization of your life. The who, what, when, where, why, and how of your death and the subsequent ritual requires significant contemplation.
Today's end-of-life rituals often look quite different from the rituals of previous generations. There are numerous options available related to the disposition of the body worthy of serious consideration. Although contemplating and planning for your ultimate demise is somewhat daunting, it's important to realize that ritual just doesn't happen!
Creation of meaningful end-of-life rituals is a collaborative process requiring knowledge of available options, time, attention, and intention. Discussing your preferences with those responsible for enacting your plan facilitates your “exit stage left.”
