Funeral Wishes
It’s not something most of us enjoy thinking about, but setting out your Funeral Wishes is one of the kindest things you can do for the people you leave behind. It gives your loved ones a clear understanding of what you would like and what you wouldn’t like at your funeral. Because Funeral Wishes cover every aspect of the day, documenting them can ease stress and uncertainty for your family while ensuring your farewell reflects your values and personality.
While your Will can include basic instructions, such as whether you prefer burial or cremation, a dedicated set of Funeral Wishes allows you to go into much more detail. You can outline your religious or spiritual preferences, where you’d like to be laid to rest, how you’d like to be dressed, whether you want flowers, the style of the procession, your choice of coffin, and many other personal touches. This level of clarity helps your loved ones honour your wishes with confidence and peace of mind.
