5 Tips for Hair and Makeup in the Afterlife

This is not a joke, but something I’m always asked. When faced with the thought of death, you CAN maintain your look for the afterlife. Invest in pre-planning. This will make you feel better in knowing that others will see you that last time just as you lived your life. Talk to your hairdresser and makeup artist and explain all the details of what you want at your funeral. They know you best, so let them be there for you when you need them most.

Here are some guidelines:

Lawrence’s 5 Tips

1. Call your hairdresser and let him/her know your preplanning arrangements. See whether your stylist will do this for you. If not, ask whether s/he can recommend someone who specializes in this kind of care.

2. Keep pictures of how you look now, so your look can be matched. Create a folder that you can leave on file at your funeral parlor or in a safe place along with your will and other legal documentation. Also identify your clothing preferences.

3. Prepay for the services or put aside the appropriate amount in a funeral account for these requests. Meet with your hairdresser and funeral director to get a receipt of what you have requested. This way, you know it’s in writing.

4. Write down your hairdresser’s color formula and your preferred cut, if s/he will not be the one performing this service. Let the funeral director know your wishes in full if you have a preplan with your beauty consultants.

5. Put your hairdresser’s name and number with your final papers. Discuss these arrangements with your family and friends and let the executor of your will know too.

These are your final request on how you want to be remembered. The way you look in the mirror is the way you should be remembered.

Please let me have your questions.
