Start with a will. It is really simple. You can do one online for the state you live in and have it notarized.

Have a medical directive done so that someone can speak for you concerning medical care decisions if you are unable to do so. Do you want to be on a ventilator? Would you like to be resuscitated? How about if you are in a vegetative state?

Go to a local funeral home and get information on things to think about. Burial versus cremation versus donating your body to science. Traditional funeral versus a memorial service. Flowers versus donation to a charity. What music do you want played? If a traditional casket, what do you want to wear? Do a pre-paid funeral and the funeral home will have all that ready for the family once the day arrives. It takes a ton of worry and decisions to be made off you loved ones at a time when they are already emotionally stressed.

My parents did these things for us and my wife and I have done this for our family.

The mortality rate in 2022 is still 100%. Everyone is going to die at some time (short of rapture). Preparing these things aren't for you but for those you love.

One last thought, give those you love their roses while they are still alive. What I mean by that is to tell them you love them. Bless them with a small give, a card, something that says you appreciate them. Today may be your last chance to tell them. also give some of your stuff away now. Things you know they want. Get the joy of watching them enjoy it.
