Getting Your Ducks in a Row
Presented by the Cooperative Memorial Society in partnership with Empowered Endings Collective
Planning ahead is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself and your family.
The Ducks in a Row Workshop is a friendly, practical session designed to help you organize your important documents, record your wishes, and begin the conversations that matter most.
You won't complete every aspect of your planning in one afternoon, but you'll leave with a solid foundation and the confidence to continue at your own pace.
