This task is one I have put off for some time thinking I will get to it tomorrow, then another year goes by. We all live in denial about when the end might come. I'm not sure how many times I have sent off for literature on the topic of what I want done after I depart this world to save my children from dealing with it all. In many ways it is unbelievable that we have to buy a one way ticket to leave this world in peace. Two things for sure in this life are death and taxes. The other day a representative with the Neptune Society called me based on information I requested and talked me through the process, informing me of discounts and benefits for being a veteran, plus allowing monthly payments with no finance charge. It was painless. First of all, he asked me if I had access to my email account on my phone and I replied yes, but first let me find my phone, then I realized it was in my hand. He did not comment, but probably thought this guy could go at any minute. I could only laugh at myself. After it was all said and done I asked the question, "what happens if I die before the balance is paid\off?" He replied that my children would be charged the balance. Don't worry kids, I plan to pay it off soon. The peace of mind is worth it.
