funeral

Do you have to go through the embalming process when you die in New York? Who can embalm you?

After a woman was sent to a funeral home, only to be found alive and still breathing, it makes us wonder, just who can say whether or not a person is dead in New York State?

Have you been put in charge of someone's ashes after they die? Can you legally spread them in a park in New York State?

Have you shared with a loved one what you want to happen, after you pass away? Not things like who gets the clock, but cremation? Organ donation? No service at all? Here are a few things to get in writing before you go.

Could there be a reason that a cemetery would refuse to bury you after you pass? Believe it or not, there are 3 reasons that can say, nope, not happening.

So, when the person at the memorial service you are at, randomly tells you what they have planned for their passing, yep. That happened.

Have you had the conversations with your parents? Or your children? What do you want your funeral to be like, to look like? Here's how three of these conversations went in my life and what I learned.

Last week Hopkins shared a story about a girl who drew criticism for taking a 'selfie' while a man was rescued from the Brooklyn Bridge.  Now, President Obama finds himself in hot water over a photo he and British Prime Minister Cameron took with the Danish Prime Minister at the Mandela funeral: President Obama and British PM Cameron were snapped snapping a selfie (AFP/Getty Images): http://t...
