How to Document Your Death Care Plan
Legally documenting your future wishes
Once you’ve completed your Precompose contract and initiated payment to become a Precompose member, we encourage you to document your wishes for your future death care to ensure that things go smoothly after you die. If you are not yet a Precompose member, you can join here.
