Make sure they specify that "I own plot #38945 at Peaceful Acres Cemetary". I know someone who didn't find out their relative owned a plot until after they had put him in the ground somewhere else!

You might also want to include stuff like whether or not they want to be cremated, or even what songs they want sung at the service; the less decisions that the family has to make during that time the better.

These are excellent ideas. Not everyone is willing to do it, but if they are, preplanned funerals are a wonderful thing. My parents have already planned theirs and everything is in a folder....and we know where the folder is...:) It will be much easier for us since they were willing to plan ahead.
