Arrangements after death are emotional tasks that are often done when you are least able to think about such decisions. Some people choose to make arrangements in advance. Then, at death, there is time to visit with family and begin mourning without worrying about organizational details. For other people, making arrangements in advance seems too final an action, and it is important to enjoy the time with the person living with dementia.
