#244 Funerals, Bodies, Preplanning, Oh My! – Bob Arrington, Spokesperson for the National Funeral Directors Association

from Best Life Best Death · host Diane Hullet

In this episode, I talk with longtime funeral professional Bob Arrington. We explore body disposition, funerals, celebrations of life, cremation, and more. What does it mean to “pre-plan,” and why does it matter? How do practices around caring for the dead vary across regions and over time? As Bob says, “We take the time to educate—and the most important time to do that is ahead of time.” Tune in to hear his perspective on how thoughtful conversations in advance can make everything go more smoothly.For more information on Best Life Best Death please visit our website at ⁠⁠www.bestlifebestdeath.com⁠⁠Follow us on our social channels to receive pertinent and helpful resources on death, grieving, and more at:Facebook: ⁠⁠www.facebook.com/bestlifebestdeath⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠www.instagram.com/bestlifebestdeath⁠⁠
