A funeral planning declaration is a document that allows you to plan for your burial, internment, or cremation.  It gives your family information on what you’d like to have happen on services or viewings.  You can use it to designate the funeral home, or cemetery that you prefer, and to make other similar arrangements.  Finally, a funeral planning declaration can allow you to name the person that you want to make any other decisions about your body and memorials when you are gone.
