I have my own "manila folder" containing the kind of info being suggested here, and my wife, mother, and sister know where it is. One thing that I have in mine that I haven;t seen here (maybe I missed it): desired funerla arrangements. Do you want to be buried? Cremated? Anything you'd like on your headstone? My funeral list includes the lessons and gospel readings I want at my service; the hymns I want sung, and the prelude and postlude to be played. It says I want to be cremated. It give specific instructions for what is to be done with my ashes. Just something else you might want to consider including.

These are all great things to think about. It helps the family too if they don't have to make the decisions at a stressful time. I know that it has been a big help to me that my parents have already made all these decisions...now I can just concentrate on enjoying their last days....which I hope are years and years from now.
