Why this exists
In the first 48 hours, your family will be asked forty questions
Burial or cremation. Which church. Which pastor. Which hymns. Which photograph. Who speaks. What the obituary says. Where the insurance policy is kept. Whether you wanted an open casket. Whether there is a plot already paid for.
They will be asked quickly, in public, by people holding clipboards, while their hearts are breaking. And most families answer by guessing — then spend the next ten years wondering whether they got it right.
Every question you answer in this planner is a question they will not have to answer then.
But this workbook asks for more than logistics, because you are more than logistics. The most valuable pages here are not the ones listing where the deed is filed. They are the pages where you write down how you came to faith. The prayer God answered when you had given up. The thing you have been meaning to say to your son since 1994.
Money is spent. Property is sold. A testimony written in your own hand gets read aloud at gravesides and kitchen tables for three generations. That is the inheritance Proverbs is talking about.
What’s inside
82 pages across eight sections
Every page is a working page. There are no decorated blanks and no filler — just generous room to write, and prompts that know what to ask.
Who I Am
Vital information a funeral home and probate court will ask for, a full family record, your church home, and your spiritual milestones — baptism, confirmation, membership, ordination.
My Faith
Guided testimony pages: how you came to faith, what changed, the season your faith was tested. Plus what you believe, the scriptures that shaped you, answered prayers, and wisdom to pass on.
Letters of Legacy
An introduction to the ethical will, then guided letters to your spouse, each child, your grandchildren, and your church family — and a page for forgiveness and reconciliation.
My Wishes for Care
A faith-informed values statement for end-of-life care, the spiritual care you want at your bedside, scriptures and hymns to be read to you, and a checklist of legal documents to sign.
My Service & Final Arrangements
Burial or cremation, service type and venue, officiant, scripture readings, hymns, an order-of-service worksheet, speakers, pallbearers, clothing, casket and marker inscription, cemetery details, flowers, military honors, and a full obituary worksheet.
Practical Matters
Where every document is kept, key advisors, financial accounts, insurance, debts and automatic drafts, digital accounts, subscriptions to cancel, home and property notes, pets, and dependents.
My Legacy of Giving
Church and tithe wishes, charitable bequests, and a page for the belongings that carry a story — because the fights that break families are almost never about money.
For My Family
A First 48 Hours checklist and a First Two Weeks checklist written directly to the person holding the book in the hardest days, a notification list, and a page for your final words.
Plus the appendices
- Scriptures of comfort and hope, organized by theme
- Suggested hymns and songs, by category
- An annual review log so the planner stays current
- Extra note pages for the sections that run long

Why this one
Written by people who have sat with families on the worst day of their lives
- 82 pages, not 15. Most planners in this category are a dozen pages of decorated blanks. This one is a working book with real depth in every section.
- Faith is woven through it, not stapled on. The testimony, belief, and legacy-letter sections are the heart of the planner, not an afterthought at the back.
- Scripture is King James Version — public domain, so nothing here is restricted, and the appendix lists passages by reference so your family can use whichever translation they prefer.
- The practical advice is the part families thank us for. Do not store this in a safe deposit box, and here is why. Order ten to fifteen death certificates, not two. Your beneficiary forms override your will. Military honors require the DD-214, and the family has to ask.
- It gives you permission to set a budget. There is a page where you can write “please choose the simplest casket — do not spend more than you can afford,” which releases grieving families from a pressure they feel keenly.
- Part Eight is written to your survivors, not to you. When the day comes, they can open to one page and know exactly what to do first.
- Clean navy and gold design that prints beautifully in color or grayscale, with line spacing sized for real handwriting.
Who it’s for
Who buys this planner
- People organizing their own affairs who want their family to be spared the guessing.

Important
What this planner is — and what it is not
That is not a weakness — it is the point. This book captures the hundred things a legal document will never hold: which hymn, which pastor, which photograph, why the ring should go to your granddaughter, and what you want said about your faith. Keep it alongside your legally executed documents, never in place of them.
The documents this planner cannot replace
If you are in Florida, we prepare these every day. If you are elsewhere, please use a qualified professional licensed in your state.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is this planner a will?
No. It records your wishes and gives your family your instructions, but it has no legal force. It is designed to sit alongside a properly executed will, advance directive, and power of attorney, not to replace them. If you need those documents prepared and you are in Florida, we can help.
How is the planner delivered?
Immediately. As soon as PayPal confirms your payment you will receive a download link on screen and by email. There is nothing shipped and nothing to wait for.
What Bible translation is used?
The King James Version, which is in the public domain. Scripture appears throughout the planner, and the appendix lists passages by reference so you can look them up in whichever translation your family uses.
Is it tied to a particular denomination?
No. It is written for the broad Christian family. It includes the historic creeds, notes where traditions differ on questions such as cremation, and leaves room for your own church's language. If you are Catholic, we publish a separate Catholic edition built around the Order of Christian Funerals.
Can I type in it instead of printing it?
Yes. Open the PDF in any reader that supports text boxes or comments, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, Preview on a Mac, or most tablet annotation apps. That said, the planner is designed primarily for handwriting, and a page in your own hand is worth a great deal to a family.
Can I print more than one copy?
Yes, as many as you need for yourself and your immediate family. Many people print one working copy and one to give to whoever will serve as executor. Please do not resell or redistribute the file itself.
What size paper does it print on?
Standard US Letter, 8.5 by 11 inches. For a keepsake that lasts, print single-sided on 24 to 32 pound paper and place it in a three-ring binder.
Can our church use this in a class or care ministry?
Please contact us about a group or church license. We are glad to work with bereavement committees, care ministries, and small groups.
Do you offer refunds?
Because this is an instant digital download, all sales are final. If you have any trouble accessing or opening your file, contact us and we will make it right.
Catholic? We built a separate edition for you.
The Catholic Legacy & Final Wishes Planner is 88 pages built around the Order of Christian Funerals — the Vigil, the Funeral Mass, and the Rite of Committal — with the actual Lectionary reading options laid out as a checklist, a sacramental record, Anointing and Viaticum explained, and a full page for Masses after your death.
