Each of you can add whatever is important to further this list, but filling this out, having it in a location and telling the people who will be making arrangements and dealing with all of this, will greatly appreciate it and save countless hours.
For example, we spent one night trying to find mom's checkbook, as I thought it was in her purse as we had helped her pay bills, but I could not find it. We looked through all the papers and then the Holy Ghost brought a thought to my head, in one night in the brain fuzz of all of this, she had  received some new checks and mentioned she had others in a desk in the living room. I had put the new checks in there unopened and had forgotten about it in those weeks which followed.

Put it on paper, and put the paper in a place people can find it, in a marked folder and that way all the information is there to make life easier on the living.
