Planning for your demise!

Presuming you live a long, healthy life, have you thought about where you will spend your last days on this earth? Well, Matsuyama Eden, a nursing home in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, made today a day to ponder that exact question when they registered October 1st a "day to think about the end of life", 終活を考える日 in Japanese! The date for the anniversary is a pun on October which can be read "shukatsu" in Japanese, which means "end of life".

Its not a bad idea really, is it? It is quite savvy to think about one's future and to face various worries and anxieties related to the last years of life. For example, housing in your senior years when you may not be as agile as you are now. Moreover, the last will and testament, which are very important to have when there are children in the picture. There is also nursing care, adult guardianship and decisions on funeral arrangements and graves, among other things to consider. By facing these difficult concerns and planning for them, it also reduces some of the burden for the people you left behind. 

Have you ever given any of these things some consideration? Have you bought a plot of land for burial or made provisions for your permanent home after death!? Do you have a last will and testament and an executor of your will? If you are happy to share, for those who have already made provisions, are the arrangements you made here or in your home country?
