What do I do now? Someone has just died, and everyone is looking at me like I'm responsible for the whole plan. Am I?

Who plans the funeral? How do you plan a funeral? Am I done after we bury the dead? When do they read the will?

Lots of Questions, and it's normal. 

For this series I will be using the everloved.com/after-death-checklist/ and any other resources will be mentioned in the notes.

Everloved, if you want to sponsor this podcast, I'm open to talk.
