Funeral Planning
 
I offer a funeral planning service that provides an opportunity for you to plan a celebration of your own life when that time comes.   We will work together to discuss a number of practical decisions that need to be made at the time of your death.   This is a very difficult time for the bereaved who are often so consumed by grief that they find thinking about what you might have liked at the funeral service difficult.
 
In our cosmopolitan society we are also experiencing a number of social changes such as:
 
  • subsequent marriages
  • single parenting and non-married partnerships
  • civil partnerships
  • longevity, social and geographic mobility
  • secularisation
 
Such changes sometimes cause difficulty for the bereaved when planning a funeral service.
 
Planning your own funeral ensures that the service will be exactly as you desired it to be.  It allows the following considerations to be truly reflected at the time of your death:
 
  • whether you wish to be cremated, buried or desire a green funeral
  • where the funeral service is held
  • whether the service is non-religious or part-religious
  • whether the service is civil one or held in a religious building
  • who will conduct the funeral service
  • the content of the service truly relfects your wishes

 

When we have agreed that the service I have captured truly reflects your wishes, a copy will be provided to you so it that can be safely stored away - often alongside your will if you have one.

 

This service is provided at a small fee plus mileage expenses.
