Online Funeral Planning

'The San Diego Funeral Guide' Helps With Pre-Mortem Party Planning (UPDATE

Local funeral planning guide assistance for San Diego became available on March 10th and is the first such service in the area.

Just as brides to be can use online wedding planning services, the not yet dead can plan their funerals online. 

“We want to help people explore their options and plan funerals or celebrations-of-life at home, on their computers,” Anna Copley, co-founder of the San Diego Funeral Guide, said.

The San Diego Funeral Guide is part of The Funeral Site, a national funeral planning Web site based in Seattle that Trend Hunter referenced last year. 

The video above makes me think it could be a lot more fun to plan your funeral in person.
