New DVD Series by ‘The Doyenne of Death®’ Kick-Starts Funeral Planning Conversations with a Light Touch

While most would rather leave funeral planning to the relatives they leave behind, Gail Rubin has helped thousands proactively plan their post-death formalities while still alive and kicking. Following the huge success of her book, A Good Goodbye: Funeral Planning for Those Who Don’t Plan to Die, Rubin is today announcing a compelling new DVD series also titled ‘A Good Goodbye.’

For Immediate Release

A Good Goodbye DVD set coverAlbuquerque, New Mexico Millions think a basic legal will can handle their estate, funeral arrangements and post-death formalities. They’re dead wrong. Understandably, many shy away from the subject until their time comes. However, just like talking about sex can’t get a woman pregnant, Gail Rubin (known to many as The Doyenne of Death®) is helping millions realize that talking about funerals won’t actually kill them.

Fusing her humor and quick wit with years of experience as a Certified Funeral Celebrant, Rubin has already won multiple awards for her smash-hit book A Good Goodbye: Funeral Planning for Those Who Don’t Plan to Die. Rubin is now expanding that expertise onto television with the release of A Good Goodbye TV interviews on DVD.

The twelve-episode series of twenty five-minute programs are offered as a set of four DVDs. Using her famous light touch to bring serious topics out into the open, interviews with Rubin equip viewers with everything they need to know “before they go.”

“It is vital that issues surrounding death and funeral planning are presented in an accessible format; a format that inspires conversation among friends and family. Traditionally, people don’t know very much about a family member’s wishes. And the will is not the place to state preferences – it’s often read after the funeral,” says Rubin.

Continuing, “Death is a serious topic, but we present information in an entertaining and straightforward way. Having end-of-life conversations before death can save a lot of expense and scrambling around for information, ultimately making a person’s death easier for their family. By watching A Good Goodbye TV, families can openly discuss these important issues and avoid complications.”

The DVD set is available now for $49.97. With the DVD set purchase, there’s a special offer of the book A Good Goodbye at half price ($11).
