My Funeral Wishes
Helping your family know what matters most to you
My Funeral Wishes
Many people have their own thoughts about how they would like their funeral to be arranged. Writing these wishes down can be a simple but meaningful way to help those closest to you when the time comes.
Making arrangements after a bereavement can feel overwhelming. By recording your wishes in advance, you can guide your family and give them the reassurance that they are making decisions that reflect what you would have wanted.
My Funeral Wishes document
Our My Funeral Wishes document allows you to note the things that are important to you. This may include whether you prefer burial or cremation, the type of service you would like, or personal touches such as music, readings, or special requests.
Completing the document does not commit you to a funeral plan. It simply provides helpful guidance for your family.
Keeping your wishes safe
Once completed, you may wish to keep your document somewhere safe and let a family member know where it can be found.
If you prefer, we are happy to keep a copy securely on file for you. This service is offered free of charge and ensures that your wishes can be easily referred to when needed.
If your wishes change
Your preferences may change over time, and you are welcome to update your wishes whenever you feel it is necessary. Simply amend your document or provide us with an updated copy.
Funeral Wishes and Funeral Plans
Recording your funeral wishes is different from arranging a funeral plan. A funeral plan allows you to make arrangements in advance and pay for the agreed services at today’s prices.
A Funeral Wishes document simply records your preferences. While it helps guide your family, the funeral costs would still be met at the time arrangements are made.
Recording your wishes
Our Funeral Wishes document is designed to gently guide you through some of the decisions families are often asked to consider when arranging a funeral.
You can complete it in your own time and discuss your wishes with those closest to you if you wish. Many families find that having these conversations in advance provides comfort and reassurance for everyone involved.
