I'm sure you can, as it is YOUR funeral, you get the choice of coffin or cremation, so surely you can plan your own end.
-
I don't know about the legality of the whole thing (although I don't know why you couldn't do it) but I went to a memorial service once for someone who had helped plan it herself, and it was wonderful--totally appropriate for her personality and how she was in life.
-
Morally wrong, that really depends on a person's morals. I, for one, don't think it's correct to exclude people from a funeral - some people are much able to grieve better when there is a funeral or memorial service. I also don't see why you'd care what food is served as you won't be eating it. You can always have things in you last wishes and leave these types of things in a will - so it is legal. If there's some type of feud in the family or sometimes between friends, things can get in a mess - but you can still put it in your Last Will and Testament.
-
There is nothing morally wrong about planning your funeral and etc. It's certainly not illegal. People do it all the time.
-
I don't think it's wrong. I'm sure you can make arrangements with the funeral home if you pre-pay for your funeral. I am thinking about doing that because if I were to die now my mother and father would fight with my husband about what kind of funeral and where to bury me. I don't want that so I'm considering making my own arrangements to nip the arguing in the bud.

No, it's not morally wrong and, yes, it's legal. In fact it's the best way to do it. If you want a service that reflects who you were then you should plan it. Your local funeral director can help you even if you don't buy from them. And then take your decisions to your lawyer and put them in your will.

I think it is the best idea you could ever have. I got mine all planned out, video production of my life credits at the end, songs, the whole ball of wax, I dont think it is morally wrong. you can't get out of dying, so why not take care of it yourself. Its the last thing you'll ever do!

-
My mom made all the arrangements beforehand and we were very grateful. She chose the music, set the tone, even told them what kind of fresh baked cookies to serve. It was a wonderful thing to do for her daughters.
-
Nothing wrong with that... a little morbid but whatever you like.
-
I don't think its wrong, and surely it isn't illegal, but really it doesn't matter, you won't have a clue as to what happens, as you'll be dead..But hey, if thats what you want to do, then I say go for it.
-
Yes you can do that. My Husband even designed his own headstone. I did the rest but he chose the extra music to be played at his Mass.

I think that's a very loving thing to do. It takes the burden of doing all of that off of the family left behind. I have a friend who's planned her's down to this level. I have mine planned to a lesser extreme because it's not about me once I die. It's about my loved ones doing what they need to do to get through. Morally wrong? I can't understand why it wouldn't be. I guess to each his own. It's simply a loving thing to do, in my opinion. Legal? If you put it in your legal paperwork, anything you want. However, nothing stops anyone from contesting the will if they choose. You'd need to go through a lawyer to make sure it's legal where you live since each state is different.

Nahh I don't think its wrong. I'll bring the Doritos.
-
Sure can..

My husband grandma just passed away this early month. She arranged everything for her own funeral. We just executed what had been written. It was a beautiful funeral ceremony.
-
no its not wrong... youll have it just the way you like it... nothing wrong for someone to do what one wants to do... i once planned my death... well.. ignore that... but... legally ? isnt all you gotta do is talk to the people... what does tha law have to do with it..
-
Well I work at a cemetery and I also have everything planned ahead of time as my grandmother did too.. Many people do this and I can tell you that for those left behind that it is a great relief to have the persons wish known, as many people that have to deal with death it is their first time of having to do this and they feel so lost and confused. So when their loved one has left everything all planed out, their wishes, for the cemetery,funeral home and a will too, thing just run so much smoother. It is not morally wrong and very much legal in every state that I know any how. And for many it brings peace to them knowing that this is taken care of and their kids will not have to deal with it.
