I am a CPA that specializes in helping families save money when making funeral arrangements. I really respect people that find a sense of passion and meaning in helping people and families at the end of their life.
This is when most people are extremly vulnerable and need trusted advisors.

Hello, I am the Administrator of Hospice Partners of Southern California
located in Santa Monica. Thank you for your series on planning for death.
I wanted to let you know about a place to get advanced directives for each state. States do differ a bit, so people traveling might consider writing one for each state they visit. The website for the free advanced dirctives is part of our National Hospice and Palliative Care (NHPCO) org. Here's the web link:
