Serenity Funeral Planning Consultants were so amazing with helping me with my mother's services. I know I could not have gotten through her services without the help of the consultant.

Empowered Funeral Planning

Authored by Jacqueline Scoggins

In 2024, I began writing my book, and in 2025, I published Empowered Funeral Planning: A Practical Guide to Planning Without Pressure—to help people everywhere understand the funeral planning process as if they were sitting down with a trusted advisor. The book covers every major aspect: funeral terminology, required vs. optional services, consumer rights, essential documents, and the decisions families often face, including cremation services. It even includes a planning worksheet at the back to help readers organize their wishes, outline next steps, and feel more prepared.
