A Good Goodbye Helps Families Avoid Emotional and Financial Disaster

Albuquerque, NM, April 12, 2011 — Americans plan their finances, their families, their retirement, just about everything – except their funerals. That omission can mess up all their other life plans. A Good Goodbye: Funeral Planning for Those Who Don’t Plan to Die (Light Tree Press) will help families avoid emotional and financial disaster – and it’s discounted now through the traditional Tax Day deadline.

A Good Goodbye is now available at the 30% discounted price of $15.00 (plus $3 shipping) through midnight on Friday, April 15, 2011.

A Good Goodbye by Gail Rubin, “The Doyenne of Death,” brings light to a dark subject: from cremation to caskets, obituaries to obesity, religions to receptions. It illuminates how people can avoid stress at a time of grief, reduce family conflict, save thousands of dollars and create a meaningful, memorable send-off.

A Good Goodbye uses gentle humor to convey the vital information about funeral arrangements that most people don’t learn about until there’s a death in the family. The 228-page book includes new trends in death care, funeral traditions for major faiths, and even a chapter on pet loss and funerals.

A 10-page downloadable planning form from the book is available free to anyone who visits www.AGoodGoodbye.com. Valuable event planning guidance, tips, checklists and examples of memorable, meaningful memorial services are also included.

Gail Rubin is an event planner specializing in funerals and memorial services. She speaks regularly to groups on getting the funeral planning conversation started. As author of The Family Plot Blog (TheFamilyPlot.wordpress.com), Rubin attended and blogged about “30 funerals in 30 days” during November. The project documented the many creative ways today’s funerals are evolving into celebration of life events.

A Good Goodbye retails for $21.95 in bookstores, with online discounts at Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and www.AGoodGoodbye.com. Ebook versions are also available. Get discounts for bulk sales and presentations by calling Light Tree Press at 505-265-7215.
