The Power of Pre-Planning

We spend our entire lives protecting the ones we love. End-of-life advance planning takes our protective nature one step further. We will discuss the different facets of end-of-life arrangements and the choices that we can make early. This will be an open forum welcoming any questions about the funeral industry. Participants will receive a decision guide for recording their wishes.

Instructor Jennifer Page is the education coordinator at Lake Ridge Chapel and is committed to educating the community about life and death topics.
