Tuesday, December 10 at 6:00 p.m.

Making final arrangements can be overwhelming for those close to you. Clear choices may be difficult to make. When the death of a loved one occurs, there are many decisions that will have to be made in a very short period of time. In this session, Dr. Oliver presents a 45-page funeral planning document, “Final Wishes.” This document identifies your wishes, from the information needed to correctly write your obituary to your desired post-service event. Each participant will receive a free copy of “Final Wishes” for their use. Hosted by Lisa C. Oliver, EdD, Death, Dying and Bereavement Educator. Adults only. Call 404-613-7000 for more information.
