Bad news: you're gonna die. Well, we all are, so let's be practical. This video is a tidy summary of the things you need to think about (even though you don't want to). A minister, doctor, hospice worker, and lawyer outline the basic facts about the paperwork and decision making end of the end of life, and the brief program includes general information about wills, advance directives, funeral arrangements and organ donations. Much better than Settling the Affairs of a Loved One and almost as good as Understanding the Tricks of the Funeral Trade (both reviewed in VL-11/95), this would be a useful addition to church and hospital libraries as well as all public libraries. Highly recommended. A companion video, Facing Death: Providing Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Comfort to Loved Ones, is also available for $49.95. Aud: C, P. (R. Reagan)
