Increasingly people are planning their own funerals and making preparations
in advance. This can save their loved ones the worry of organising and
even paying for a funeral when you die. By planning your funeral in advance
you are also able to indicate personal preferences. Suggestions for things
you can do and your preferences may include:
Making a Will - Check with your solicitor for advise as to the precise contents which accurately reflect your wishes
Your choice of funeral director
Your church affiliation
Your wishes as to burial or cremation, and if cremation is chosen,
the placement of the ashes
The venue for the funeral service
Details of a cemetery plot which is already owned, or your choice
of cemetery where a plot is to be purchased
Details of organisations, professional societies, clubs, etc., which
must be specifically notified of the funeral details.
Specific wishes important to you.
