``Saying Goodbye Your Way'': A Practical Guide to Planning End-of-Life Celebrations
GLENDALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 3, 2004--"Saying Goodbye Your Way," a new book by John Llewellyn, president and CEO of Forest Lawn(R) Memorial-Parks and Mortuaries, is sparking dialogue across the country as spouses talk to spouses, parents talk to adult children, and as baby boomers broach the subject of funerals with aging parents. By providing detailed options for ceremonies and funeral plans, this unique book encourages individuals and families to plan for death in much the same way people plan for other life events such as birth, coming of age, and marriage. As a result families benefit from knowing how to plan a funeral that is a true life celebration.

It includes a detailed table of contents and index so readers can select the topics most relevant to their unique situation. This is particularly important for families making at-need arrangements or where a death is pending. In these situations, identifying and understanding available options easily will help make choices that are right for them.
