A committee at College Mennonite Church, Goshen, IN, created a booklet to provide information and to encourage planning as a way of preparing us to deal with death. Spending time now making decisions and sharing those decisions with people close to you can bring a sense of peace and will make it much easier to finalize plans when the time of death comes.  This booklet is available as a PDF.
