THE EXECUTOR’S SANITY SAVER
The things your estate’s executor needs to know about you
Once the funeral is over and the sausage rolls have gone cold, the paperwork begins. Someone has to untangle the practical side of your life. Fortunately, you’ve already saved them a massive headache by mapping out your funeral stuff and special memories in The Bottom Drawer Book: the after death action plan. Now, this additional checklist will make handling the logistics much easier.
You can download a copy and print it, or keep it digital by opening it in your web browser or as a PDF (not a Word doc) to type straight into it.
THE DEPARTURE FOLD
A final chapter chatterbox
Remember these paper origami games from your school days? The Departure Fold is a quirky, non-confrontational conversation starter.
Once you’ve cut the page and folded your chatterbox (The instructions are in the download), grab a friend or family member to play.
Here’s how a turn works:
Pick a number or death euphemism: Snap the chatterbox back and forth for each number, or you can count or spell out the euphemisms.
Pick a number or corresponding funeral wish: Count it out while moving the chatterbox for each number.
Pick another number or funeral idea: Lift that flap and read the question underneath. The conversation starts!
