Do Not Ignore Your Mortality
Practical Advice From a Funeral & Financial Insider
by Greg Barnsdale


You will be hard pressed to find another book like this one. Greg has delicately pulled together a gripping message that so many adults need to hear. Only about half the adult population of Canada and the U.S. have a current and valid will. The fallout is immeasurable, wide and deep. The statistics are not improving much either. Some people don’t know where to start, while others have family members who refuse to discuss it. Greg’s well-rounded experience will help you better understand the important end of life issues, and inspire you to get your affairs in order. His unique style will entertain you. This book could change your life, in more ways than one.

Greg is an unusual undertaker. Despite having embalmed hundreds of people during his career, he often gets queasy when giving blood. The Canadian Red Cross has banned him. He is not to come back, ever. Having plenty of experience as a last responder and an end-of-life advisor, he has grown very frustrated with what he’s witnessed. Far too many people feel ‘it won’t happen to me’ and they just don’t want to talk about it. This widespread avoidance he’s found over a 30-year career, compelled him to write this book and share an increasingly important message. Being open to our mortality and properly planning in advance for what we want to happen, has so many advantages. As a seasoned advocate for the ‘death awareness movement’ Greg has a compelling message - plan while you can! Doing so can reduce the stress of aging, enhance relationships, save money and make it so much easier for those you love. He is on a mission to inspire and educate a lot of people (with a little humour) so their ultimate exit will be much less difficult - on everyone.
