The Emergency Funeral Coordination Kit

Plan a funeral in 72 hours without losing the details, the money, or your family's peace.

When a death happens suddenly, someone in the family becomes the coordinator overnight, the calls, the deadlines, the money conversations, the who-does-what. This is a tablet-native kit with a tap-to-navigate home screen, built for GoodNotes, Notability, and Adobe Acrobat, not a printer, with real fillable PDF fields throughout, so the essential things happen in order without all of it living in one exhausted person's head or a stack of printed forms.

What's included:

• The 72-Hour Master Timeline, an hour-by-hour checklist covering the first three days.
• A Family Task Assignment Matrix, so the work is actually distributed, not defaulted to one person.
• A Vendor Price Negotiation Worksheet, with the exact questions and legal rights that get you a fair, itemized price from any funeral home.
• A Service Flow Manager, for building the order of service and the day-of run sheet.
• Notification, paperwork, and money templates, including an obituary fast-draft template and a fundraiser setup guide.
• De-escalation scripts for the family conflict that shows up under grief and decision fatigue.

Format: 30-page tablet-native PDF kit with 161 genuinely fillable form fields, hyperlinked navigation, works on tablet, phone, or desktop in GoodNotes, Notability, or Adobe Acrobat.

This kit is built around US funeral consumer rights under the FTC Funeral Rule and general planning practice. State-specific timeline requirements vary, always confirm exact deadlines with your funeral director.
