“Better Send-Off is the brainchild of funeral whisperer, Gail McJorrow. She’ll get you started on one of the most important tasks of your life with creative ideas, products and services, legal and financial information and much more. It’s all designed to help you, your family and friends plan the send-off you want. Your death and funeral are your business, not the preserve of other people who haven’t known you in life. Take control of the dying process, it’s a life-giving experience.” — Sande Ramage, hospital chaplain, funeral celebrant, writer and speaker
“Reading this book is like chatting with a wise auntie over a cuppa at your kitchen table. McJorrow uses a comforting, conversational style to explore some of life’s most difficult decisions. As an overview of the options now available to New Zealanders, Better Send-Off is both a welcome guide for the bereaved and a useful resource for celebrants and funeral directors.” — Larry Timberlake, Editor of Pānui – Official Journal of the Celebrants Association of NZ
