Will 

A will is one of the easiest and most common things you include in your estate planning process.  You can work with an attorney to create your plan for who will get what assets when you pass away and how your funeral will go. You can give these people the option to plan your funeral as well or you can make those plans on your own. There are many other things you can include in your will as well and other types of legal documents that can help ensure your final affairs are in order when you pass away. 

Funeral Plans

Estate planning gives you a chance to make your plans as needed so you can pick out and choose certain things such as the type of casket you choose, what colors, music, flowers and other details are planned.
