Heath Village Hosts Final Seminar in Advance Care Planning Series

Whatever your life story, you can’t be sure of the ending.
But you can take steps to write your final chapter.

Members of the community are invited to join Heath Village residents for the final program in its Advance Care Planning Series, "Your Final Resting Place: Next Steps After Your Death," on Friday, November 13, at 2:00 p.m.

The series, which began in April, has explored several important aspects of advance care planning, including essential legal documents everyone should have, how to have meaningful conversations with loved ones about personal wishes, and end-of-life care.

The focus of this fourth and final seminar will be planning for what happens after death. A panel of three experts will discuss:

• Funeral planning and cremation services.
• The process of donating your body to medical research and education.
• The importance of having a will and understanding the probate process.

The panelists include Heather Darling, Esq., Morris County Surrogate; Denise Maguire, licensed funeral director and owner of Maguire Memorial Home and Cremation Services; and Rebeca Santiago, Program Support Specialist for Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Anatomical Association.

Light refreshments will be served. While the event is free, reservations are recommended. To register or for additional information, please call 908-684-5008.
