I have a card for a mortuary service I've prepaid for. In theory they ship my body to the mortuary from anywhere in the world, supposedly. It's worth looking into, I think. Keep a copy of the card in your wallet and a copy of the policy in the "upon my demise" folder.


This is good only of your life is setteled. If you are young you might transfer and start a new life. If you live in Florida for the last 50 years of life, nobody will want to travel to California for your funeral.


I'm not sure I'll care people from California won't want to visit my family plot in Florida. I'll be dead.


This isn't about you, it is about those who remember you. Your funeral isn't where they are so they don't get to go. If they would visit your grave, they have to make a special trip.

At least i'm not aware of a religion that offers you reason to care. I leave figuring that to the reader.


If it isn't about me, then they can pay for my funeral.
