We all experience so much in our lives, from the big moments of getting your first job, to lighter but still important memories like attending our first baseball game. And although we may know some of the life events important to our loved ones, many of us don’t know about the experiences that truly make them who they are. How can we learn more about the people that matter to us most?

To help families learn more about their loved ones, The Funeral and Memorial Information Council (FAMIC) has teamed up with Popular Syndicated Columnist Jim MIller to discuss how to Have The Talk of a Lifetime. Finding a way to start talking with a loved about significant moments can be the most difficult part, so FAMIC has created Have The Talk of a Lifetime Conversation Cards, which offer questions/ideas for helping to get these conversations started. These cards include questions such as, “What is the best lesson you ever learned”, and, “what is the scariest thing that ever happened to you?” By using these conversation questions as jumping off points, you may be surprised by what you learn about people you have spent your entire life with.
