Prepare To Learn… Learn To Prepare
Are you one of those?… those people resolutely in denial about the inevitability of eventual death… who harness their energies to avoid perceived threatening thoughts about it… whose timid eyes turn in a different direction when a hearse passes by?
Well, if this attitude rings a bell, you are not alone! American society is crippled by a
death-phobic contagion. From one generation to the next, infected psyches have been conditioned to ignore and sometimes abhor the reality of physical passage from the earth.
Even generally open-minded individuals often have closed their minds to the pleasant event planning opportunities the prospect of life’s final milestone presents.
Long before resting in peace, a wise planner can attain the peace of preparation, contentedly aware that a record of one’s final wishes will likely become a most treasured gift for loved ones.
Courageous pioneers who have waded tentatively into this domain have been surprised to discover enjoyment of planning processes. The funeral industry has changed dramatically, nowadays rendering new approaches coupled with innovative products. Whether browsing or buying, a customer under relaxed circumstances is apt to feel invigorated by the enlivening offerings.

"Exiter University" is dedicated to informing folks about the vast array of possibilities from which they can choose elements for management of their final proceedings. A broad and colorful spectrum of classes, workshops, discussion groups, and online substance is designed to enlighten and entertain participants.
Experience this educational opportunity to learn about matters rarely discussed in everyday life. Expect to become intrigued, engaged, and enlightened by awareness of modern-day funerary revitalization. Materials are designed to be fun and entertaining.
You won’t encounter anything morbid within this context… no bone-chilling skulls and crossbones or Grim Reaper facsimiles. Instead, you may catch a glimpse of warm and fuzzy associates in the likeness of frogs to remind us that conspicuous croaking… making one’s voice heard (by declaring preferences for death management) is a wise course of action before finally “croaking.”
Whether your goal for gaining insights is based on planning for your own end of life or that of family members, you are apt to be captivated by the innovations and variations that have emerged within recent years. Merchandise, services, commemorations, and memorialization have been imbued with multi-faceted diversity. Colorful novelty has awakened a domain that had seemed dismal and deadly.
Cultural attitudes toward death are changing, prompting a growing willingness to bring this previously unmentionable aspect of life out of the closet. People are realizing the importance of making arrangements or at least stating preferences ahead of time. An intent to spare grieving family members from the onerous task of decision making underlies motivation; it is a step toward facilitating their emotional health when confronted by challenges of bereavement. The mortality rate of one hundred percent renders a mission of advance preparation all the more relevant, regardless of one’s age. Even young people can enjoy the event planning process, while maintaining receptivity to alterations through the years.
Community presentations of this nature are supplemented with online materials to encourage absorption of information coupled with personal engagement. Become acquainted with Signature Sunsets, via Twitter or LinkedIn connections.
