Put your funeral wishes in writing
A thoughtful way to ease future stress
Taking time to record your funeral wishes is one of the most caring things you can do for your family. It removes the pressure of decision making during a difficult time, while giving you the opportunity to note what matters most to you.
Whether you want something simple or something unique, your notes help guide those arranging your farewell. It also helps ensure your funeral directives are understood and respected. You do not need to make any financial commitment - this is purely about documenting your preferences.
This is suitable whether you are ready to plan your own funeral, or simply want to begin the process of final wishes planning at your own pace.
What the funeral wishes form covers
The advance funeral wishes form allows you to record a wide range of details. You can include practical matters such as burial or cremation preferences, and your chosen location. You can also note ideas for music, readings, clothing, flowers, or anything that feels important to you.
You can be as detailed or general as you like. You can complete the form yourself, or talk it through with one of our team if you would like guidance.
Many people find this process surprisingly comforting - particularly if they have specific ideas for their service, or want to remove any guesswork later on.
