Website lets you plan your own funeral–for free

A new website, mywonderfullife.com, is aimed atboomers who want to take charge of their own funeral arrangements. Thegoal is to help people who might otherwise resist thoughts of thehereafter to plan their exit strategies.

“What this audience really wants are tools to make their lives easier -how can this help me save time, how can this help me cross one morething off of my to-do list?” said founder Sue Kruskopf, whose Minneapolis ad agencyKruskopf Coontz spent a year designing and developing the site withNancy Bush.

The free site lets people (who become members after signing up) plantheir funerals right down to music, readings and photographs. Theinformation is in a password-protected area available only to selectedfriends and family. Your site also tells survivors how to find such keydocuments as your will and financial information.
