Insuranceopedia Explains Death Planning

Death planning is undertaken to relieve dependents and immediate family members of the burden of making decisions after one’s death. In addition to purchasing insurance plans, it includes writing a will, estate planning, creating an advance directive for medical care, and planning one’s funeral and the disposition of remains. In death planning, it is highly recommended that directives be stated as specifically as possible.
