The Final Frontier

[MaryN]

We've done contraception, so, never one to bodyswerve awkward questions, I thought I would tackle death in the aftermath. Cheery topic for a Sunday morning.

I have read many of the comments on this Forum about a massive "die-off" in the aftermath of a life-threatening event, and I am curious to know how you have all prepared (if you have prepared) for such an event. Now, death and disease are not particularly selective, so there is the possibility that you or a loved one might succumb to disease or whatever. I can't see the Grim Reaper galloping past on his white horse, swinging a scythe, and yelling "Don't touch him, he's a prepper!", so I suppose the possibility of demise if there.

Have any of you actually ventured into prepping for the death or yourself or a family member? Please don't tell me that you carry a spare bodybag in your kit - I may be respectful but slightly incredulous.

I have dealt with all the legal aspects of death and probate in a past employment, but it's the actual event that I can see causing problems. After all, it is not going to be practical to express a wish that your ashes be buried with your pet, Fido, in the back garden, so...... how do you deal with it?
