This book is different. It is a BIG and BOUNTIFUL reference guide in two volumes (380 & 410 pp.) for anyone with the wisdom and loving kindness to make after-death decisions while fully alive.
Instead of a cursory overview of some aspects of funerary management, it provides details pertaining to every element a pre-planner might want to consider.
Symbolic representations are key components, prompting an exploration of defining characteristics as determinants of personal preferences and potential arrangements best suited to oneself.
It is designed with reverence for the painful reality of inevitable death while offering an upbeat event planning perspective.
Family needs are addressed in conjunction with the sense of satisfaction that can be derived from planning ahead and having a say in the matter.
Novel ideas and modern innovations enlivening the funeral industry pervade the text, which also encompasses detailed descriptions of conventional approaches and familiar products.
Utilitarian content is interspersed periodically with whimsical vignettes for spirit refreshment and promotion of comfort. Such asides either exemplify main points or simply dot the domain with streaks of colorful invigoration.
Other playful inserts serve the same purpose, with the presence of frog illustrations to remind readers that this resource is about "croaking." That is, learning about end-of-life options can be the basis for communication and an opportunity to make one's voice heard before it is too late.
A planner will be endowed with a chance to bestow upon family members the ultimate gift of guidance.
Upon reaching the end (of the book), a reader is apt to celebrate both the singularity and the significance of one's own life story.

Sounds very interesting and would like to read it, and keep it as a reference book for my Ash Work memorial art service. Very compelling information about the funeral industry described in a light hearted way. Croaking is just part of life!
