When there’s a death in the family, you are devastated, and everyone knows it. They rush in to comfort you and help you through your grief. But that’s not all you need. You need to know what to do right now, what to expect, and how to legally get their affairs in order, all at a time you are emotionally fragile and confused. The website My Parents Are Dead: What Now? takes you through those steps of getting things done, from moving the body to dealing with mourners to dispersing possessions to settling probate. The skeleton decorating the site is the “self-care skeleton” who has tips at the end of each section for de-stressing a little.

While this guide may seem irrelevant to you now, you should learn these things before you need them. If you haven’t already done so, you will someday confront the death of your parents, unless you go first. And that makes the first section, the “to die” list, especially important regarding not only your parents, but you as well. Preparing ahead of time will be a wonderful way to make things easier for your children or other heirs when the time comes. Also, there’s nothing like disposing of someone’s else’s possessions that will inspire you to pare down your own collection of stuff. -via Metafilter
