Funeral Planning
Pre-planning Funeral
The benefits of pre-planning your funeral, you are ensuring that your wishes are recorded and other necessary information. It relieves the burden and grieving family and friends and enables them to mourn their loss without the additional stress of arranging the funeral.
Pre-planning & Pre-paying Your Funeral
Information such as whether you wish to be buried or cremated, where you wish to be buried or where you wish your cremated remains be placed, whether you wish to have a church, chapel or graveside service, your favourite music these are just a few of the details which assist in the arrangement of a funeral. To make this as easy as possible, we have a Forward Planning form which allows you to make your wishes known, and also questions which assist in the filling of the necessary government paperwork for the registration of the death.
