Funeral Plans – Get the Send-Off You Really Want
|
Over 80% of people in the UK* have not written down any preferences for funeral plans, which is an astonishing figure.
When you ask most people to really think about a Funeral Plan they’d are able to tell you what they want, but it’s one of those subjects people would rather ignore.
Below is a look at some of the main reasons it makes sense to make your funeral plans while you still can.
Choose a cremation or burial in your desired location
Funeral planning can be stressful for family members left behind, particularly if you’ve not made any specific funeral plans.
You may have thought you’d like a woodland burial for example, but unless people know about it, this may not happen when you pass away.
Having funeral plans in place that your loved ones know about means you can decide whether you should be buried or cremated and where you’d like your funeral service to take place.
Prepare yourself financially for funeral costs
The financial costs are a big part of funeral plans. Can you afford to have the funeral you really want? Do you have any funeral insurance in place to make sure your final wishes are carried out?
Costing your funeral plan is important so you can budget accordingly and have the farewell you’ve always wanted. Without the necessary finances, your family may have to make some decisions for you about your funeral arrangements and may have to pay.
Celebrate your life
More and more people are viewing their funerals as a celebration of their life, rather than a mournful occasion.
If you plan to go out with a bang, then you should write down everything you want as soon as possible as well as making sure your funeral plan is covered financially.
For example, you may want your coffin to be in a horse drawn carriage or you might like a giant firework display at the end of your funeral service.
Whatever your funeral plans, if you know what you want your funeral to be like, do something about it today.
Make loved ones aware of your plans
If you’ve never talked about your funeral plans with your spouse, partner, family and friends, they can be put in a difficult position when you pass away.
They will be left to rely on guesswork when it comes to your funeral planning which will more than likely result in a different funeral service from the one you had in mind. |
