When a loved one dies, not everyone is sure what the next step to take after the funeral should be. At Watson Funeral Home we don’t end our support to you when the funeral is over.

We provide this unique book (at no charge with all funerals) to help give support and direction in the tasks that follow somebody dying. Hopefully this book will provide guidance and help remove some of the stress that comes with these tasks.

Author Kat Reed has written the definitive book on what to do when a loved one dies, based on her own experiences after her mother’s death and her tireless subsequent research. The user-friendly book Begin Here is the answer to "Where do I begin?"

Begin Here guides survivors through the seemingly overwhelming practical yet necessary tasks that remain after a death, from residential to financial to personal. Leveraging Reed’s unique insights, invaluable suggestions, and organizational skills will help anyone simplify this process.
