A smart thing to do, of course, and I commend her for planning ahead -- I was chatting with hubby this evening that we should think of doing the same, even though, Lord willin and the creek don't rise, as the saying goes ;-) it will be some time before we'll need those "final services," we will all need them in time, and planning (and paying) ahead is a relief for the loved ones.
