041: Tutu Makes a Funeral Plan

It’s not something we really want to think about, but it is something we all need. Our guests this week, Renie Menor and Raji Gaskin of Nakamura Mortuary and Maui Memorial Park, teach us about stress-free funeral planning. With Renie's extensive 15-year background in pre-planning and sales, paired with Raji's expertise as a funeral home manager and licensed embalmer, this discussion offers a compassionate and informed exploration of pre-arranging funeral services.

We cover veterans’ benefits, unique requests for cremated remains, and the critical importance of being proactive about potential cost hikes. With Renie and Raji leading the way, you'll gain a new perspective on how normalizing discussions around funeral planning can offer peace of mind, ensuring that you and your loved ones are prepared for the inevitable in a way that honors your wishes and alleviates future burdens.
