It absolutely is not bizarre. Before I retired I worked for a probate and trust attorney for 23 years. I saw first-hand how devastating it can be for the survivors when no final plans are in place for their deceased loved one. I told my husband that was not going to happen to us. We will all die sometime, so be ready. That's what we did. Researched and chose. We made the plans and paid for it. A few months ago my husband died. I am still a wreck, but deciding what to do while I was numb with grief was not something I had to deal with. I think people are too superstitious. You will not die just because you have made your plans.
