This should be normal. Anyone who has a child, anyone who has a cancer, everyone should have notes about their final wishes, even healthy people, and let the family know where to find the instructions.

My durable medical and financial manically powers of attorney are taken care of as well. My family know that I do not want extraordinary treatment when my time comes. My DNR is on file with me hospital.

My mom's m did this with her lung cancer diagnosis. It saves so many arguments and much acrimony. When first diagnosed with my lung cancer, I paid for my cremation and planned what I want at my service. I selected the music and the poetry as well as the urn and some flowers. Best part of this is that the policy is with an established company and it's all paid for at 2010 prices.

@denzie I did the same in 2015. Since then I have moved to another state, but the prepaid plan was transferred here. There is peace of mind in knowing you have a hand/some control in what to do!
