Doing your own funeral video

Article Abstract:

Al, always a take-charge individual, was combating his cancer and the time when he was relatively well, gave him the opportunity to reflect on the meaning of his life, and how he wanted to be remembered. He planned his funeral event through video, which surprised many people and saddened some of his family members, as they felt let down compared to how other-not-so-close people were addressed by Al.
