We will cover a number of topics relating to end of life decisions. They include: Michigan’s laws relating to burial; honest talks with doctors, based in part on Atul Gawande’s book "Being Mortal"; choosing time of death; interesting cross-cultural funeral rituals; and options outside of traditional burial such as cremation, green burial, donation to medical schools, reef burial, cryogenics, and bio-urn (ashes planted with a tree seed).
