Your Precompose Document Checklist
Completing all the forms you need
This list features all the Precompose resources we’ve made available to help you think about, talk about, and record your wishes for your death care. If you have already spent time thinking about these topics, you may be ready to skip right to signing each form. If you’re still familiarizing yourself, the articles below will provide background and context ahead of making these decisions.
Legal Forms and Information
There are four forms you will need to complete to document your wishes and legally ensure they will be carried out:
1. Disposition Authorization
- How to Complete Your Disposition Authorization
- How to Consider Your Soil Options
- Sample version of a Disposition Authorization
- Link to sign and submit your Disposition Authorization
2. Designated Agent for Funeral Arrangements
- How to Designate an Agent
- How to Approach a Potential Designated Agent
- What to Know as a Designated Agent
- Sample version of a Designated Agent for Funeral Arrangements form
- Link to sign and submit your Designated Agent for Funeral Arrangements form
3. Vital Statistics
- How to Complete Your Vital Statistics
- Sample version of a Vital Statistics form
- Link to sign and submit your Vital Statistics form
4. Transport Form
- How to Complete a Transport Form
- Sample version of a Transport form
- Link to submit your final Transport Form
Please click to complete and submit your final forms only once. If you start a form but do not complete and submit it, our signature system Zoho Sign may send you email reminders to complete the form. Zoho Sign starts a new form every time you click the “Link to submit,” so you may get reminders even if you have since clicked and submitted another version of the form.
As you complete and sign each of these four forms, be sure to save a copy with your important papers. If you need to change a form, let us know at precompose@recompose.life and we’ll send you a new blank form.
